Comments
Comments: This heavily used trail is boot packed all the way to the ledges. Looks like there's about half a foot or so of powder from the weekend storm.

I was able to bareboot without issue. There are a few brief patches of frozen slush ice on fairly level terrain.

If taking the secondary trails (e.g. Ridge Trail), I personally would be using a light snowshoe.
