 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Winter parking area is plowed. Road was icy but not terrible. There were a couple of big blow downs on the road. Most had been sawed through. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Wet Trail, Ice - Breakable Crust, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Snow/Ice - Postholes, Slush, Snow/Ice - Small Patches |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
Snowshoes, Light Traction |
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Water was pretty high and what ice there had been was pretty much gone. We used the snowmobile bridge at the first crossing and got lucky at the second one when we found some in-tact ice stretching across stable rocks. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There was no snow for the first couple of miles, mostly patchy ice (road walk was icy from winter lot). Snow increased with elevation and was pretty deep for the last 1.5 miles to the summit but snow conditions were terrible. It was basically mashed potatoes with huge post holes the whole way. Very tiring to slog through. |
