Nothing vaguely recent on Jewell to either Washington or Jefferson on the Trail Conditions page. Anyone been up there recently? We plan to go there on Friday (first day of winter :) :)).

I remember from last winter that there was a layer of very hard packed snow, almost as hard as water ice, on some sections of the Gulfside. I had stabilicers and wished I had brought real crampons.

Thanks.
 
I was in tucks hitting some ice over the weekend so never got higher than 4500 or so - there was very little snow overall - but some drifts. (likely from blowing in off ridge) - there was lots of ice around - I took 3 falls coming down the tuck trail :eek: :eek: it was an ice rink on sunday eve. not sure what has happened up there all week. but my guess is ice ice and more ice up high.
