Even after the snowfall the night before, the trail was already pretty well packed out — thanks to whoever broke trail! We were fine in Microspikes the entire time, but the trail could use some more packing, and there are a few sections where snowshoes would be optimal. That said, as the trail packs down over this weekend light traction should be sufficient. Beautiful day — stunning visibility and fairly low winds at the summit. |
