Just thought I'd pass along that if you are heading out to do Eagle Peak, be aware that the well traveled snowshoe path does NOT lead to the saddle below the peak. Instead of crossing the creek as the trail on the map depicts, the well travelled path continues south to the top of the ridge that runs east towards Wahpanayo (sp?)
Soooo, if you're intent on doing Eagle, bring your map and compass (as always), don't rely on the tracks already there, and most importantly, beware of avalanche danger. Wind slabs were definitely forming on west aspect slopes today.
