|  |  |  | Comments: | Thanks to whomever hiked this yesterday, the snowshoe track was stellar. We hit this up this morning before the storm came in. Snowshoes one way - to South Summit. Crazy steep south 1/2 mile was even more tricky with the sledding/sliding that had been done, but we made it work. We saw only one other group, skiers. Interesting choice of trails. 
 Of course, all this matters none in about 3 hours with the heavy snowfall coming in.
