Mt. Adams via Air Line
Date of Hike: Friday, October 24, 2008
Trail Conditions: Dry trail, mud, slush, snow, ice
Special Equipment Required: Light traction, gaitors
Comments:
Snow starts lightly after about a mile, 1-3" in the trees. Above treeline, to Gulf Side, 4-6", above Gulf Side to summit, 4-8" with drifts up to 2 feet. Trail decently packed to Gulf Side, but then lightly travelled thereafter. Trail starting to slush up below Gulf Side. Cut up one blowdown, two remaining down low (step over).
Took variety of trails on decent. Osgood Trail from hut to Madison is not broken out.
