| Comments: |
Trail is in great condition, packed down with some loose powder approaching the summit as well as on the backside of the summit. A few spots with ice on the rocks but nothing that can't be avoided. People out today wore a mix of snowshoes, light traction an bare boots today - all of which worked on the trail this day. Cloudy skies but great views from the summit and eastern ledges. |
