No issues, earliest that I've seen a couple of the higher rivulets were open requiring an easy step over. |

Nothing that was easily avoided. A few trees that were hung up above the trail but they looked like they were pretty secure, no real widowmakers |

 | Comments: |
It feels almost dishonest to call today a winter hike. Having had miserable weather in May, June, September and the rest of the year, I won't lose any sleep over it. I suspect tomorrow will have lots of bare rock on the top. A couple of decent size drifts on the C-Path just before the junction with Webster Cliff but well packed thanks to hikers and the wind. A few younger hikers glissaded most of the way down, not sure it was someone else or them that realized that helmets might be a good idea as they were coming pretty close to some trees. |
