Judging by what I saw in mid July...
No.
....not even deep in the crevices among the rocks. There might be some ice in crevices where there is little airflow and the depth of the crevice is substantial, but no snow, not one flake or granule.

No there isn't. Going along with what RR said, if there is any ice, it would be in the deep rock cracks in Tucks or in the King Ravine, as I have heard ice tends to linger there year round.

Yep - plus the "ice cave" in Carter Notch, also sometimes in the cracks between rocks deeeeep in Mahoosuc Notch.

I was in Castle, King, and Jefferson Ravine a few weeks ago, and I can't imagine any snow anywhere in those parts. I did think about it while I was there though.

Yeah if there's anything it would be just a little bit of ice. It's been getting below freezing on the summit of Washington lately, but nothing insane. Oh well, its a little hope of what's to come I suppose!

There was a pretty decent patch of snow down deep below a boulder on the Huntington Ravine Trail just a few weeks back when I was there. It was pretty cool! Kinda blew my mind to see that in August!

My highly refined snow/powder senses must have been dulled by this summer heat! Nice find! Now I want to find it.

It was in the big boulder/talus portion of the trail, at the base of the Ravine. It acted as a nice air-conditioning unit as you stood next to it!
