We started up the trail arount 10:30 am. Hit frozen snow on the trail below Horse Camp, and put on our microspikes. Above Horse Camp, fresh snow made snowshoes necessary. By the time we got to the summit we were sinking in about 8" or so on snowshoes. We reached the summit just before 2:00 pm. We didn't stay long because it was snowing and windy. Took the loop down which was a nice adventure with a difficult stream crossing due to fresh blowdown blocking the small log bridge over the stream. Got back to the car about 4:30. The trail crew is going to have a busy time as there is considerable new blowdown at various spots on the trail.
