We found the trail to be in good shape, the water crossing was frozen over and wast not a problem. Trail was broken out prior to the most recent storm up to Jennings Peak Spur, we only had about 6" of new powder pack. Above the Jennings Spur it was not broken out and we encountered 6" of new snow on top of about 8" of crusty base. We did a fine job of packing out a great base for anyone that heads up prior to the next storm. Currently, even the steeper sections below Noon Peak are easy going, no ice and stable base. |
