| Comments: |
Bootpacked trail was generally blue ice this afternoon with temperatures in the upper 40s. Microspikes were adequate due to the softer nature of the ice. Some hardpack and spring snow as well. Enough exposed logs/boards that snowshoes would be vexing (hopefully the upcoming storms build up the snowpack again). Woods on this side of the peak still have full snow cover, albeit not too deep. |
