Comments
Comments: Patchy snow at the road going up ski trails snow was several inches deep and used light traction although developing snowballs lower down. Climbed to the lookout on Wildcat D and there was ice and at least a foot of snow. Looking down at Wildcat ridge trail lots of snow with some ice, not broken out well and it was getting late and decided against hiking the 2 miles to Wildcat A. Saw only one other hiker at the lookout who was going to try to hike to Wildcat A. He seemed well prepared.
