The road after the freeway is covered in a small layer of patchy snow and ice. Easy to get to the lot.
After the new snow fall, I was the first one making my way on the trail after the split at Pratt Lake. The avalanche chutes posed no problems today, the crossings were clear and there was no sign of recent activity. About a mile from the summit, the fog rolled in very heavy. The mixture of powder and hard pack made for lots of uneven stepping. Being unfamiliar with the trail, and solo for the day, I called it and headed back to the car.
