Comments
Comments: Overall the trails are in solid shape. Blue trail from the junction up to the summit wasn't traveled and we broke it out in snowshoes. There were some 1-2ft snow drifts that will definitely be tricky with just spikes and would highly recommend snowshoes until it's more packed out. We saw 1 hike who came up that way after broke it out without any traction. There are some icy spots near the scramble but manageable with appropriate traction. Yellow trail down was well packed and definitely seems like the way people have been going. We checked out the access road on the hike down and it was also very well traveled.
