Great day and hike. I was happy to have my snowshoes, but did post hole even with them because of the melting snow. The people I was with had micro spikes and did just fine. There’s ~3 feet of snow after the second water crossing until you reach the summit. The summit is completely clear of snow. The monorail is fairly stable but melting fast. |
