We did Shav and Tab from Angel of Shavano Campground. Snow was mostly consolidated with minimal post-holing up to the Esprit ridge. The ridge has some cornices, but again, snow was pretty nice to go up. We wore snowshoes on the way up down to the saddle between Esprit and Shavano. Shavano is mostly windblown, so we carried our snowshoes up to the summit and for the descent to the Tabeguache saddle. Had to put them back on at the Shav/Tab saddle and wore them up to the summit of Tab. See Shav CR for pics.
