Comments
Comments: Snowshoes went on at the car and stayed on all day. I'm glad I did because the televators were on for most of the climb up. Some wore microspikes but shared that the snow was soft. I took the Short Trail which is shorter to get to the summit but had to break it out. Notices skiers entering the Tram station...the website indicates it is closed.
