The Big Creek loop got more snow than I was expecting in the past week. On 4/15, it was entirely snow free. Today, there was at least a foot of snow at the higher end of the loop. The snow began about a mile into the hike as patchy slush, gradually getting deeper with increasing elevation. The narrow bridge at the top was a bit tricky as my feet tended to slide towards the edge of the bridge in the soft snow; certainly passable but something to be aware of and consider with your own comfort level. I managed it today without traction but would have been more comfortable with microspikes.
