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!

I arrived to the trailhead parking lot at 1 pm. I'd say there were only 25 vehicles. It was empty. The bathrooms are open.
The trail is in great shape. There's one large downed tree. About 24-inches in diameter where it fell across the trail. Wider at its base. It's easy too get around. There's also no snow or ice on the trail.
Remember you'll need a Discover park permit.

Just a short trail-condition update.
Front row parking at 9AM
Still lots of small debris from the bomb-cyclone littering the whole trail and a few small-to-medium sized blown down trees still crossing the trail, but nothing large nor cumbersome.
Snow starts in the boulder field and is compact & slick in places, but we never bothered to put our microspikes on. There was either a rock popping through the ice or dirt on the snow that gave enough traction to get out to the viewpoint with minimal effort. However, if you venture over to the haystack, the protected trail got a bit more slick & treacherous.
