Recommended Equipment
Recommended Equipment: Snowshoes 
Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: All good -- bridges intact. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: No apparent issue .. there is one mild duck-under but a quick saw effort can clean this up or once the snowpack goes away it may no longer be an issue. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Cuz of the deep snow today, snowballs in the toes were an issue. But some good toe-munching and some friendly hands took care of the situation. Neck deep in the snow on the way up was cool. Then rolling around with feet in the air was the way to go up near the summit in the frozen tundra and sub-zero windchill. 
Bugs
Bugs: None in evidence.

Comments
Comments: Deep snow and plenty of legs was the story of the day -- beautiful day on this favorite peak! We had a group of 10 plus three strong skiers made it all happen. The hike out was great. No postholers today!!
