Comments
Comments: It snowed all day and the summit was socked in, but it was a great hike overall. I didn't see anyone else all day.

There was about 3-6 inches of snow lower and about a foot closer to the summit. I put on my snowshoes about half way up (a little after the big blowdown) and kept them on until I was about 3/4 of the way back down.
