| Comments: |
We hiked the whole mountain in the blizzard and it took us 5h with snowshoes all-the-way. The trail is a great monorail with some postholes (as expected). There was at least 2 inches of fresh snow and maybe more on the ridge. Be carefull to stay on trail for the last mile as the crosswinds blow all footsteps rapidly. |
