There was a decent amount of snow on the trail, but it was soft snow and traction was good. I got by just fine with hiking boots and some trekking pole (I didn't use the yaktraks I brought). The 4WD road was clear to the upper trailhead. Some now in the trees down low, but it cleared up around treeline. Sporadic snow on trail between 12,500' and 13,500', pretty consistent snow higher than that. Surprisingly little wind at the top. Warm weather the next couple of days should melt some of the snow |
