 | Comments: |
Tucks was well groomed with lots of soft packed snow, Lions Head has lots of snow but glissading has made it thinly covered in the steeper spots with some ice/rocks/roots poking out and above treeline was mostly a foot or two of windblown snow, bare/crusty in a few spots and a couple deeper drifts.
Crampons and Ice axe are probably required. Never used the snowshoes we all carried as an earlier group had broken the trail for us. Awesome day with a little bit of everything the mountain offers from fog/clouds/white outs to wind blown snow to a beautiful sunny undercast with nothing but the top 500 feet or so of Washington sticking out.
