trails: crawford path, eisenhower loop, webster cliff, webster-jackson
conditions: crawford to treeline blown in over hard packed trail. some deeper drifting. above treeline mix of snow, rock, ice with drifts. loop the same. webster cliff from pierce to mizpah hut drifted pretty heavily in spots. prior trough is pretty evident for the most part heading towards jackson though drifted in. tough route finding around the bogs. lost webster jackson coming down just below the steep section from the summit due to heavy drifts. once through that section it was quite clear with some powder over a packed base all the way to the trailhead.
equipment: full above treeline gear. snowshoes.
comments: a beautiful day. windy and cold above treeline early on, but got quite warm in the afternoon. thanks to the gentleman in front of me who knocked down the drifts heading to eisenhower. down in time to make it to work tonight at 5pm. a great day out.
