The Mount Si trail was in good condition and snow-free, with some debris from small branches and twigs scattered for the first mile. A couple of downed trees blocked the trail, but they were relatively easy to step over. We decided to descend via the Mount Teneriffe Trail - Talus Loop Trail, making a loop back to the Mount Si Trail.

We were surprised that there was no snow, with only a few patches of packed snow/ice on the Si-Teneriffe Connector Trail section. While we were on the Mount Teneriffe Trail, we encountered a couple more blowdowns but navigated through them without any issues. The weather turned out much better than expected. It was a fantastic day on the mountain.

Started at 10 AM. There were pockets of mud on the trail but it wasn't a problem. At around 3/5 of the way, I started seeing snow but it wasn't really on the trail at all until about 4/5ths of the trail. Closer to the summit there was some ice on the trail. I was able to cross without spikes but you should bring them if you aren't sure. The snow isn't deep either and is more of just a dusting, so you should be able to see where you are going. However, on the haystack the snow and ice does get deeper and I wouldn't recommend going up it.

Went for a last minute day hike up Mt. Si. The parking lot on this Saturday was about a third full. It was damp, but the rain held off for my hike. I saw evidence of damage from the storm a couple of weeks ago. But the trail is now completely clear. While I had my spikes, I never needed them. There wasn’t any snow, except for the very top. My coat also spent most of the hike stashed away. But it was windy at the top, so I was glad I had it. There were plenty of gray jays at the top looking for snacks. 

Trail is snow free till summit. Did not climb haystack, a dusting of snow/ice crystals on the trees to make it look magical. The summit was engulfed in the fog. there were a handful of trees blocking the trail and with the exception of 1 that required climbing over, others were easy to step over. On my way back, I saw 2 people working to clear these remaining trees from the trail. Thank you. A good day in the mountains! 

First - Thank You to the DNR crew of two who were sawing fallen trees to clear the path! My buddy and I went up at 7 with headlamps and crossed a few big trees that were blocking the trail. Nothing terrible, just needed to be attentive and careful with footing of course. The DNR Duo was hard at work clearing the path when we came down. Super friendly and paying close attention to the hikers for everyone’s safety. Thank you!!

Report: Great Monday morning amble up and down Si on the main trail. A bit muddy in spots as usual this time of year. A light dusting of snow on top at 930 and some clouds swirling, but no rain! All in all a good Mt Si kinda day for a workout and a chat to catch up with hiking partner. Saw fewer than 50 people in four hours, but lots of smiles!
