Excelsior Pass Trail (Mile 41.2 off Mount Baker Highway) Snow Report: Trail is dry to about 2,800'. Patches of snow between 2,800' and 3,500'. Above 3,500' the trail is mostly covered with snow, decently packed (didn't use snowshoes). Saw the last sign of the summer trail at 3,800'. Beyond that, it was all snow. Snowed on us a bit. Lots of freshly fallen snow above 4,000', at least a few inches. Postholing (about a foot deep) became too tiring, so we turned around at 4,600'.
