Ascent Trip ReportHiked in from west up red trail to blue. New dusting of snow on trails. I switched on an off between crampons and microspikes. Met three people on the hike. The hike started out sunny and we were overcast with flurries on top. I hiked back down to the car and arrived in sunshine. Mountains make their own weather!
