Saturday afternoon offers the narrowest opening as snow showers taper and high pressure briefly builds — an early start Saturday morning is recommended to be well underway before any lingering precipitation and to return before Sunday's secondary storm system arrives. Avoid Sunday afternoon through Sunday night entirely due to high risk of freezing rain and mixed icing precipitation.

“First hike of the day before my whack of Halibut and Sheridan in VT. This was for my 4K a day grid. The rain had stopped by this point, and while there were several groups I ran into on the trail, it didn't feel terribly crowded. The trail was wet but not terribly slick. It's so eroded that, from what I recall, the mud wasn't even that bad for the most part. It felt like forever since I'd done this trail, especially without snow on it (and, by the way, there was ZERO snow seen on or off trail); brought back memories. Steep but never excessively so, and no scrambling. Short. Didn't clear as early as I thought it might, so in cloud up high. Gaia had me at about 4.25mi, 2200ft of gain, 2hr12min.”
