 | Comments: |
Still full snowpack from the road to the summit ridge (1 to 2 feet deep). The stretch of trail from the ridge viewpoint to the summit has largely melted out. A few moderate length stretches of blue ice. Snow was firm this morning with temperatures in the teens. I wore snowshoes roundtrip, but didn't like beating them up on the ridge. Until we get more snow, I would consider sharp Microspikes if temperatures are below freezing and snowshoes if temperatures are at/above freezing or it's sunny. |
