I made it to about 3/4 mile from the top via the tram back on 01/10/18, but had to turn around. Didn't expect that much snow and tweaked my knee.
This time I was ready! Ice.. lots of ice throughout the trail. The first couple miles were annoying. Trail kept switching between ice, snow, boulders, and dirt. Microspikes were good for ice, but not so much on the boulders. Weather was perfect. Clear skies, wasn't too cold, but lots of wind.. which made it cold. It was warm enough that most of the ice had melted by the time I hiked back down. I'd be surprised if there's much snow/ice left in a couple days.
