Ascent Trip ReportThe temperature was over 50° the day before, but dropped back to the high teens and low 20°s for this hike. This left a hard crust over which two or three inches of fresh powder accumulated with a light snow all day. We wore snowshoes the whole way, with the wind gusting over 40mph.
