Trail was muddy in places and there was snow on plants after 1500 ft but trail was snow free due to high traffic. After the recent clearing cable line has better access to the viewpoint that wt3 trail. It was completely under fog but it was interesting to see the clouds pushing down in the valley to south from north. I had my snack at there standing as everything was under snow. The way down on cable line was very slippery and hiking poles were very helpful. Started at 3:30pm back at car at 5:30pm and many people were still going up.

It’s been several hours since a trail report on Tiger, so here goes.  Only 3 cars and a huge silver bus at the Cable Line TH at 0730.  Started up the Cable route at 0745.  Trail is relatively dry, and definitely widened from the increased foot traffic.  Saw 2 people heading down and maybe 8 going up from different approaches.  Thanks to whoever cut the 2 large trees across the trail about 10 yards from the summit so we no longer need to go around or climb over them. Cold and a little windy up top but no rain.  Looked around a little then headed down the WT 3 trail which is in excellent shape.  We had a tiny sprinkle of rain for a minute, otherwise dry.  It was super quiet on the way down but the number of hikers increased as we approached the upper parking lot which was maybe third to half full around 0930.  Snow is on the way this week with a fluctuating freezing level but doubt Tiger will get much.

Beautiful morning up on West Tiger 2 for the sunrise. I was one of a few early bird dawn patrol hikers up on WT2. There were already the three hikers who passed me going up Cable Line, and a trailrunner who was coming the other way, who said "It's a party", up at the summit of WT2 at 7:25am!!

Cable Line trail was in excellent shape. Very dry, with hardly any mud. I didn't even get my pants dirty. I guess I could of worn my Sunday's best today...even though its only Saturday!! lol
