About one inch of fresh snow at the start. 2-3 inches of fresh snow on a good snowpack up high. We put on microspikes for the descent as there were plenty of iceflows on the Banana Trail.We were in the fog at the summit, and most of the trip. It cleared up (wouldn't you know) when we arrived back at the car.A great day, none the less |
