Trail Conditions: Well-packed trail until higher elevations where there was enough powder for snowshoes. Some slick areas, especially on the brief ascent and descent of Mt Osceola.
Special Equipment: Katoolahs, stabilicers or crampons worked. Snowshoes on top.
Comments: Thanks to Skip, Janet, Atticus and Barbara. Beautiful views with a startling blue sky along the top appreciated and enjoyed by all. One steep descent caught 2 of us off guard, sliding off the trail and grabbing onto a tree to stop. The short rocky descent off Mt Osceola was very sketchy, icy with jutting rocks. We had to be sure-footed. Rest of trail fun with no problems.
