| Comments: |
Nice day, warm in the sun. 3-4" snow at trailhead; 2-3' on summit regions.
The trail from Starr King to Waumbek was not traversed recently and had 6-12" fresh snow, making it difficult to find, but we persisted and found it. Many others came after (~25) so trail is now well broken out. It would have been nice to have snowshoes at the time, but now they are not needed. |
