| Comments: |
Approximately 2 or 3 inches new snow with heavy drifting towards top of Old Bridal Path before hut. The first 1.5 miles was in micros then switched to snowshoes. Very thankful an early am hiker had tracked out above treeline as trail was a little hard to follow with recent snow and drifting. The ridge was no issue except heavy gusts and clouds reducing visibility at points to 500 ft or less. |
