	Comments:	8" new snow on trails which are well packed underneath. Wore snowshoes start -> finish today. Lots of wind blowing snow back into tracks of two gentlemen ahead of us. They made it to 3300' on Dicey's mill, then three of us finished breaking trail to the summit. Good VFTT today. Saw no one else on the summit. Met two folks staying out the night to hike tomorrow - hope they had a good night.
