Looks like there has been some since the storms and wind last week. One tree down nearing the ridge which has been broken and can be walked through, could be stabby but hardly a problem. |

Like other reports stated, post holes adorn the initial 0.5mi or so. The trail was in surprisingly great condition past the final water crossing (just prior to the lookout spur). Snow was fairly solid for Hillsounds for the ascent. Nothing too soft unless a foot goes off the beaten track. I usually advocate for snowshoes but until we get significant powder this trail is great with just spikes for the moment. Post holes are rock solid down low. Ended up basically trail running down from the summit and hardly left a dent in the snow. Great conditions, better than expected. |
