Got to the trailhead at 10am, two other cars in the lot. Snow started covering the trail at 2850’. I put on microspikes; they did make it easier but the other two parties I saw did not have them on. Gaiters are definitely needed as the boot trial is 12” lower than the loose snow so boots would fill without them. Moderate post holing at the open field close to the top so I switched to snowshoes. Great views at the top!
