Date of Hike: 02/18/2018
Trail Conditions: 6-7" of fresh powder on top of hard-packed snow and ice; on the way back down, the trail was well broken in to the point of being like an ice luge; seems like it was butt-sledded pretty copiously. Snow bridges over all but one water crossing. Couple of blowdowns but nothing too difficult to navigate.
Special Equipment Required: Microspikes - ESSENTIAL, snowshoes - useful, crampons - useful
Comments: Based on the amount of snow and ice, both fresh and packed, I'd imagine this trail will be nice and muddy after/during the warmup this week!
