Comments
Comments: Trail is well packed down for the most part. The water crossings are all easy to cross. Went up the south side first. Trail was a little slick and would recommend micro spikes or trail crampons. The north side was easy to come down. A mixture of packed down snow and some lose powder. Brought snow shoes but did not use them. No views because of snow / fog at the peaks. Started snowing as I was coming down the north side. Looks like it snow about 3 inches. Should not affect the condition of the trail. Ran into 6 or 7 people on my way down. Overall a very good day for a hike.
