Comments
Comments: We did shoestring gully up so not sure of conditions on the way up but from shoestring (basically first viewpoint) to 302 packed snow trail, though rather narrow. Most snowshoes are going to be hard to fit in trail.

As stated, large number of blowdowns of varying size across trail that had to be either crawled under or gone around.
