Comments
Comments: About 3-5" of powder from the ongoing storm on top of the existing base. A couple sets of snowshoe tracks into the glades, but it appears both turned back. No recent tracks visible from the glade exit (KRT) to summit. Plenty of ski tracks in the glades though.

I wore light snowshoes, which was a mistake. The glade crossings needed Flex Alps or MSR traction, as the sideslope is wicked. Some drifting up high, but nothing snowshoes couldn't overcome. Rather than go through the saddle, I took the glades up, then bushwhacked a bit in the scrub adjacent to the ski trails, as to not interfere with the grooming (enough base in the woods to float on the tree tops).
