Best Hiking Window
Monday offers the most favorable window in the next 48 hours, with clearing skies, expected sunshine, and moderating winds as the arctic high moves overhead. An early morning start on Monday is strongly recommended to maximize daylight and avoid the worst overnight cold. Sunday remains a poor choice due to the active Wind Chill Warning, light ongoing snowfall, and temperatures plunging sharply through the day. Those considering Wednesday or beyond should monitor the forecast, as a storm system with 56% precipitation probability is approaching by Tuesday night into Wednesday.

“Trail is well packed. My snowshoes took a ride. I saw a mix of snowshoes and spikes, with everyone doing well. Snow started to get sticky towards the afternoon, so snowshoes might help even things out if the people coming down end up having issues with warmer conditions.”
Trail: Carter-Moriah Trail
Conditions: Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular, Snow - Drifts
“Snowshoes from start to finish, they are still needed, especially above Surprise. It would be a tough hike without them, the trails are broken out but very unconsolidated. Shoutout to the only other couple on the trails, they came from New York and brought their snowshoes!”

“The gang got back together as woodsyjess and cperkins came out to help me get my 10th peak of the weekend after getting it handed to me at times the last 3 days. We blitzed this thing in just over 3 hours and saw 7 others. It’s well packed everywhere. Some folks might want snowshoes for the televators but those sections are pretty short.”
