      		 The upper kilometer of trail still has a fair amount of snow. Enough snow to be a real pain going up, but not so much to be an issue coming down.

      		 At higher elevations trail is covered in 1-2 inches of snow. In areas where the trail is not snow covered it is very, very soft and slick mud.
