Not until at least early November (unless it dumps). Max, since snow levels are less of an issue in Colorado (where most of the mountain passes are very high), NOAA doesn't publish them unless it matters (ie., a rain snow line on the front range). In the pAC NW, where it does matter because the passes are low, the regularly publish rain/snow lines.
