| Comments: |
A couple of inches of new snow on the road became 3-4 inches at the beginning of the trail and getting deeper with drifts approaching the summit. Once we broke out the trees new snow was blown away and the trail was relatively easy to follow as the rocks lining the trail are visible. We were on the summit in fog which subsequently cleared. About 5 below and 20 mph breeze made for cold but a manageable day. |
