We normally wouldn't have done this hike in March, but because there's been so little snow this winter, it seemed like a good opportunity to do Granite Mtn. There is a lot of snow the last 1/3, but it was pretty slushy. The avalanche risk seemed pretty low. There were only a couple of tracks leading up the last big open slope, so it's a little hard when you have to break your own trail, but not too bad. We wore yak trax for the last third of the trail, which helped, but wasn't essential. We started about 11 am, and encountered about 6 people the entire day.
