Mount Pilchuck

Sun, light winds, & only a few people on trail at a 2pm arrival NEAR trailhead. Snow covers the road to the Pilchuck TH about 1/2 mile from parking lot. A well defined boot track leads more directly up to the lookout building than the normal Pilchuck trail. Beware of snowbridges crossing creeks around rocks and trees. Very straightforward approach, great ski & snowboard conditions.
The lookout is open in good condition and a nice refuge from the wind. The road to TH should melt out in the next week or two, but snow will remain on the trail for quite awhile. The TH bathroom is accessible, but needs some love as soon as the road melts out...
