Colden with dry knees

The Lake Arnold section of the trail to Mt Colden that is notoriously wet. How is it in winter, or anyone care to speculate how it is now with these thawing temps. Heading up next week, hope to try Colden with low temps in teens and highs in thirties for Lake Placid.

Also - is this section between Avalanche Pass and the junction with Indian Falls crossover or between that function and the L Morgan Porter trail.

Thank you
