 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
One old blowdown that's sort of become a waterbar. Otherwise, all blowdowns were recently cut (thank you!). Noted some recent brushing above the potholes. Trail in need of many more waterbars below treeline to cut down on the active erosion. Cornice junction needs attention, as one of the sign posts has rotted out and the signs are not pointing in the correct direction. |

The jagged rock and crevasses above treeline can result in significant injury. |

 | Comments: |
Shoulder season conditions have not yet hit. Trail was mostly dry. A few tiny patches of black ice and a dusting of snow, much of which have probably melted today. Carried, but never so much as considered putting on Microspikes. |
