Trail - Jewell, Gulfside
Conditions - As most know, the snow is disapearing faster than the $ in my wallet. Jewell was icey below and micro-spikes were used until just at treeline, where bare boot was possible. Some ice, snow pockets, slush and mounds of bare rock all the way to Jefferson. Hiked in a short sleeve, added long sleeve above treeline, then light coat at summit.
Comments - With the warm weather continuing, snow will disapear rappidly but watch out for those slush puddle and postholing in some deeper sections. Great day for last day of winter.
