Trails in great shape with an inch or two in places of new snow there is some drifting at higher elevations of valley way. I started in microspikes and switched to crampons for duration of hike at the point on the valley way trail that it angles steeply to the left, not far below tentsite. I highly recommend crampons if doing this hike in the near future. It is still very much full on winter up there. Spectacular day for these two mountains!
