A picture perfect day except for the icy spots near the top. The prior report about ice between 2.5 and 3.5 miles has evaporated for the most part but the last of the long switch backs before breaking out has some icy spots, and then it is really slick just as you emerge from the woods just below the basin. While sitting I watched a few folks slide on their butts. I was pretty cruel, I graded one person a 5.6, 5.9, 5.9 as she whirled on the slippery spots. But with the current forecast, this trail report will probably be outdated in a day or so. Have fun and be careful on those icy trails.
