Mount Roberts

Trail: Mt. Roberts Trail

Conditions: Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular

“Early start with a frozen well packed trail, barebooted up and used microspikes down to move faster but not needed. Hiking poles recommended regardless of traction. By 10am snow was starting to get a little loose, so snowshoes might be nice to avoid postholing and keeping the trail in good condition.”

Conditions: Snow - Unpacked Powder

“We broke the several inches of new snow from the trailhead to the summit. Great snow cover with no rocks encountered throughout. Snowshoes needed until snow is better packed down. Fun hike with Steve on a day with wildly changing, dramatic clouds.”

“Nice morning outing, mild temps (low 30s), with a lot of blue sky and sun, which gave way to a lot of cloudiness on the way down. We used just spikes over the smaller pasture, switched to snowshoes part way up the first climb past the fence above the pasture. Despite maybe an inch Sunday night and another last night, the snow cover remains thin up to the viewpoint, gradually getting deeper above there. The two of us, plus three others behind us in snowshoes, provided ten snowshoe "pair-passes" over the trail, leaving the trail a lot more packed out. This should last through Sunday morning, for the benefit of anyone out hiking in the brutal weather conditions expected this weekend. The storm expected Sunday-Monday will bury things again.”
