Artist Point Snowshoe, Artist Ridge - Huntoon Point by Shellyf

Arrived to the parking lot a little after 3:00pm and there was still many cars from skiers who were packing up for the day. It was easy to find a parking spot.

Bathrooms are open but I didn’t use them so not sure the condition. I feel it is hit or miss on if there is toilet paper stocked in these bathrooms so I keep a roll in the car just in case.

I was the only one heading up and there was only about a dozen of people that I passed on my way up. I was by myself majority of the time.

There were snow paths to follow if you are unfamiliar with the area. If you step off the paths the snow is softer and snowshoes are helpful. You could do it in just spikes if you stay on the paths.

There were clouds in the sky when I started and I wasn’t sure what visibility I would have once I reached the top but it cleared up and was a beautiful sunset.

It did get chilly once the sun was gone and the snow started to harden up.
