Trail was mostly packed out by snowshoers before me - thank you! - though falling snow still kept things soft. I wore snowshoes all the way up. Summit was socked in and drifty, with rocks exposed under thing powdery snow. If I'd stayed up there longer I would have taken off my snowshoes. Because of poor visibility and the cold, I left pretty much as soon as I arrived. Trail was in great shape on the way down, completely packed down all the way to the lot, with a couple of fresher snow sections closer to the top. |
