Comments
Comments: The trail is in excellent shape. We wore snowshoes door to door. It is well packed down all the way to the summit with some minor drifting from the cabin to the summit. We saw around 12 people and most were wearing snowshoes. We bumped into a solo hiker who was coming down after spending the night in the cabin. I heard it was maybe 3 degrees at the cabin.
