Parked on Chuckanut drive side. We started out on a forecasted rain day that was really clear. Could see the Olympics from the truck all the way up to the dome. The trail becomes snow covered about a mile in, well before the split. We continued up to the left at the split, steep side. Could have used yak traks for traction, no post holing. After reaching the top and "enjoying" the wind and a very quick lunch with amazing views of the islands, headed down. Decided to try "Max's Shortcut" to get back. No one had been down past Lillie Lake, post holing almost instantly. Decided to return the way we came instead. Made it down with only a few slips.
