Incredible day out there today. Trail is pack for snowshoes. The ridge is boney and mircospikes would work, but I kept the Tubbs on all day and the group of 7 I met had theirs on all day too.
Falling Waters switchbacks have been cut. If going down I'd use them. If going up they are very deep and I'd probably avoid them.
Also of note, Owl's Head slide looks pretty clean from the ridge. I snapped a few pics through light clouds if anyone wants them, email me. |
