 | Comments: |
Surprisingly good conditions. West Ridge and main traffic trails are holding up well, no mud, firm base of packed slushy ice. Untracked more obscure trails on the E side are trickier w/ soft cover and a wetter base. Summit almost completely exposed. Firetower stairs open, but top is locked. |
