 | Comments: |
Trail is generally packed powder from the parking lot to the ridge. At the summit split, left (Sosman Trail) is generally packed powder and filled in, whilst right (Mt. Tecumseh Trail) was unpacked and the scrambles a bit tricky.
About 6" of powder at the trailhead, increasing to about 12" above 3,000 feet, and about 24" around the summit.
I barebooted roundtrip without issue, but there is also enough snowpack to wear spikes. Still a bit bony for snowshoeing, but if Monday's storm brings another 3" or so, snowshoeing could be possible. |
