I was the 2nd group up today. Lots of loose powder to plow through and pack down from the snow overnight. Probably 6in at the parking lot and more at the top. There were probably 15-20 people out today and it was reasonably packed coming down but still very loose as the snow was very powdery. Highly recommend snowshoes for another couple days as it gets more compacted. There was a couple with just micros who looked to be having a rough time and I don't think summited. Took just under 6 hours total. There was some diverging trails between the cabin and the summit. I tried using sticks to mark the best path so look out for those and add more please. |
