| Comments: |
Snowshoes all the way, new powder probably 3" to 8". Needed them coming down also because there was still a lot of soft snow. Visibility decreased a lot by treeline but after getting up to the switchbacks the snow was firmer and the slab across was mostly easy on the feet and ankles since they were not always on an incline. Very light winds near the top and the temps made for a very good hike even though there were no views to be had. |
