 | Comments: |
Bare ground down low up to ~3500' when snow started to show. By 4000' there was ~3/4" of snow, but it was sticking to the ground/rocks so not slippery without traction. By the summit there was 1-2". There was a decent amount of foot traffic today, so I would expect that today's snow which wasn't very slippery, will be slippery tomorrow. You should have microspikes with you (some were wearing them today). There was a group with some pretty young kids...my initial reaction was "Is this a great idea?" but they were moving well about .5 mile from the summit when I was on my way down and seemed well prepared...kudos to them! (Wish they got better views). Some pics in the link below. |
