Early Wednesday morning was the most viable window and has passed. If attempting the peak, Thursday morning offers a narrow potential lull after overnight showers taper — aim for a very early start to summit and descend well before Thursday afternoon, as a powerful storm system with thunderstorms and damaging winds is expected to move in during Thursday evening. Friday carries continued precipitation risk. No ideal window exists in this 48-hour period; experienced hikers only, with a strict turnaround plan.

“Monorail starting to form in a few places higher up. Typical spring conditions: ice, hardpack snow, bare ground/rock. I put pictures on all trails if you want to see pictures on the conditions. It rained the whole way but no major obstacles.”

“We and most others brought and were generally satisfied with microspikes since the surface (after many hikers’ compression) was Ice in lower sections and then packed snow with softening top layer . Upper exposed sections of trail were softening, though, over the day. We tried to descend via Carriage Road and both lost the trail and found ourselves in hip-deep snow, so snowshoes essential for that and other trails. Most people were descending on Gorge Brook”
Trail: Ravine Lodge Road, Gorge Brook Trail
Conditions: Ice - Blue, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular
“The cold day made for stable conditions and a great, fast trail. The snow is solid and supportive, even off the trail. Up high there seemed to be 4-5 feet of snow still. The warmer weather and rain over the next few days will completely change the conditions though.”
