The great thing about snow travel is you get to make your own path! I’d suggest downloading the GPX and topo files for offline use on your device, and using them as a reference to the terrain. But you’re not constrained to follow the summer route, you can take the path of least resistance and use your judgement and navigation skills. If you’re uncertain if you’re at that point in your outdoor experience yet, take a more experienced friend with you!
Great video. Looks like a great day in the outdoors with some nice turns and good weather!
It was really a joy, looking forward to hitting it again this spring!
Great to see you’re still doing cool stuff. Hope your transition to Oregon has been smooth.
Delightful!
Going to climb this in June. There will be snow. How will I know if I am still on the trail) I am worried about getting lost

How deep is the snow there right now?
Couldn’t tell you the stats, but it was basically full spring snowpack above 6500 feet. Check out NOAA, USFS, or Snotel data for coverage maps.
A what time of year is this?
This was early July after a particularly cold and wet Spring
