 | Comments: |
Trail wasn't packed down but there was minimal (couple inches) snow up to the Greenleaf Hut. Beyond the hut into the apline zone, there were deep snow drifts (up to 2-3' deep). Snowshoes required for summit ascent. We had to turn around due to lack of snowshoes and whiteout conditions. |
