The lowest part of the trail has very little snow, but within a 1/2 mile it starts. The stairs and rocks are snow covered and surrounded for most of the climb. The trail all the way to the Benton Trail was under significant snow that was well packed by hikers. Most of the melted snow was in frozen puddles. Benton Trail was snow up to the summit although the summit was blown-off.
Traction not used, but microspikes would have been better for the descent.
