Best Hiking Window
Sunday offers the mildest conditions relative to the coming days, but the extreme cold and wind chills make this a serious undertaking regardless. If hiking Sunday, an early morning start is recommended to maximize the available daylight window of approximately 11 hours. Monday's forecast high of only 11°F and lows of -11°F make conditions significantly more dangerous, and Monday should be avoided. Wednesday brings precipitation risk. If deferring, wait for a day with higher temperatures and improved conditions.

“Doublehead Ski Trail was a packed highway from skiers!! Used spikes to get the Old Path jct., then snowshoes all the way up and out; Old Path had just one ski track on so breaking trail was the nature of the day; snow maybe mid calf high; New Path had not been broken so it was deep in places; always the great view from S Doublehead!! On the way down lots of glissading and side stepping in spots; saw 2 skiers and 2 snowshoers going up..”
Trail: Doublehead Ski Trail, Old Path, New Path
Conditions: Ice - Black, Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Unpacked Powder
“Snowshoes for whole hike. Ascended the old path with some ice under a thin layer of snow, but not too bad. Ridge mostly packed. Ascending to the North peak, there were rocks exposed on the uneven trail, but it was ok even for snowshoes. Walk down the ski trail was gradual. Obviously, more snow at higher elevations; looked good for skiing. Limited views. Only saw one other person. Hopefully, new snow will fill in uneven trail around rocks, cover ice and provide for an even better ski trail.”
Trail: Old Path
Conditions: Ice - Blue, Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular
“Very comfortable with micro-spikes, as elevation increases, more powder, trail has 2-4 inches on top of ice at maximum. [Snowshoes or skis should be used if taking the Doublehead Ski Trail].”
