Comments
Comments: Trails started out dry then had running and standing water in spots. Snow coverage started at about 4200', just a dusting to an inch or two. The higher we got the more ice and slippery conditions we ran into. There are some places that still have some monorail left. Heading up Airline was a challenge with the snow, ice and winds. We talked with one group later by the hut that aborted hitting any peaks due to the high winds. Coming back down Valley Way in the afternoon it had slippery spots as the snow was turning to slush making other areas muddy.
