Snow Lake

Hiked Sunday , left at 11am from trailhead, lots of cars. WTA was there with about 15 working on the trail. It's in good shape, once you reach ridge though it's like winter time. Most were turning around at this point. We had poles and crampons and warmer clothes so we hiked down to the foggy frozen solid lake.
If you don't have hiking boots on don't try it, it's very steep and slippery. I wouldn't of tried it without poles either. Might do without crampons but not safe to do. Plus there is no definitive trail, it's shoe prints going one way or another.I had GPS so it was easy to find the way. Switchbacks are useless due to there steep sides and 6 feet of snow.
I have never seen so much snow here this time of year, sometimes in may its fine , last July it was fine. This year couple more weeks I would say at least.
Couldn't see more than 100 feet across the lake due to fog.
