Dog-Related Notes: We didn't see any dogs today but there were tracks and a few small spots of yellow snow so I'm sure a few made the trip and enjoyed themselves.

Comments
Comments: Light snow at the base and boots were fine for the ascent. Snow was a little deeper near the summit. The visibility was good and the views of Washington were awesome.



The snow on the south side of the mountain was a little deeper and the way down was slippery so we used crampons. Micro spikes would be fine but some traction is needed if you don't want to fall a few times. All in all an awesome day.



Thanks to the White Buffalo for taking us out today.
