The lower portion of the trail that winds through the woods was still in great shape. The snow starts to become consistent just before you exit the woods.
Once past the first view point the snow was constant but the depth varied a lot. In some places I found myself sinking to my knees and in others it was merely an inch or so. Due to the fact that the temperature was in the low teens much of the snow was frozen solid.
The last section of scrambling to the summit of west goat was completely snow covered at the moment making for a few interesting steps.
All in all it was an excellent day out. Views are absolutely to die for even if you just go to the first viewpoint around 5000 ft.
