Absolutely wonderful day and perfect conditions. We wavered a bit with the weather forecast this morning as it changed but we looked at the webcam and decided to come anyway. Bluebird day, zero clouds, temps were very comfortable and we were very toasty in the sun. Definitely dress in layers, lots of people ditched their big coats. Roads going up were a little icy, happy to be in a 4Runner. Parking lot was pretty full but we still were able to find a spot, not too crazy out there which was nice. Trail never felt crowded. We each were carrying a baby/toddler so we had heavy packs, and it was definitely snowshoe worthy (snow not crunchy) though we did have crampons. Poles were nice to have as there is a bit of a climb right away. Didn’t go all the way to the top but didn’t feel like we needed to - views were stunning and as always we enjoyed snowshoeing here. So so glad we finally got good conditions on a weekend!
