Best Hiking Window
The safest window in the next 48 hours is Monday afternoon after the Wind Chill Warning expires early Tuesday and winds at summit level decrease toward 38 mph with gusts easing. However, temperatures will still remain below zero all day Monday, keeping conditions dangerous. An early morning start on Tuesday offers the most favorable combination of subsiding winds and temperatures beginning to recover above zero, though light snow is expected late Tuesday. Given the severity of the arctic airmass, strongly consider waiting until temperatures moderate above 0°F before attempting this peak.

“We wore microspikes on the 2-mile walk on well-packed Sawyer River Rd and changed into snowshoes for the duration of the hike. Signal Ridge Trail was well-broken out for the most part but got messy with some postholes at higher elevation. The descent was quick.”
