Went with a group of fellow-Mountaineers to Dirty Harry's Balcony and Peak to enjoy the freshly fallen snow.
We got an early start at 7am using headlamps to prep our gear. The first couple miles were mostly snow free and there was about 12-18" of snow at the top. There were 7 of us so we make a good track. Only one of us decided on snowshoes. The rest of us just wore good boots and didn't even pull our our microspikes.
There were a few small trees to step over that had fallen on the trail and there were a number of "streams" from running water, but with rocks to make getting across trouble free.
