Date of Hike: Saturday 12/26
Trail Conditions: Most prior parties had barebooted, but we found snowshoes helpful between Liberty and Flume to prevent post-holing. We encountered only a few easy blowdowns. No problems with stream crossings. After today's rain and the subsequent freezing I would suspect traction would be required.
Special Equipment Required: snowshoes between Liberty and Flume, poles were helpful.
Comments: Suprisingly Liberty was in the clear all day with outstanding views west with a spotty undercast. Flume had a cloudcap on it. While it was windy it never got below 20 degrees. It turned out to be a great day for a hike after all.
