Best Hiking Window
Monday afternoon offers the most reasonable window within the next 48 hours, as winds are forecast to ease and the arctic high settles overhead with mostly sunny skies. However, temperatures will remain below zero and conditions stay difficult. An early morning start Monday is not recommended given overnight wind gusts. Tuesday brings moderating temperatures but increasing clouds and light snow possible by afternoon — plan to summit and descend before any snow arrives. Short winter daylight requires an early start on whichever day is chosen.

“I did not see another hiker all day, so one set of tracks out and back from the Kanc in the new fluff. Drifts in spots but nothing sustained. The snow was not consolidated and between peaks was even less so. Tracks noted from Livermore side from yesterday's report.”

“Snowshoes or skis required on Livermore Road during ski season. I was the only one out today. 3 inches of fresh snow in the AM. Snowshoes car to car. Easy hike all the way to pine bend. There, drifts and hidden ice made things interesting. I used my axe going up and coming down pine bend. Still found one trap but no biggie. Hope someone takes advantage and uses the work to go out to middle before it gets blown in again.”

“Broken to North Tripyramid only. Started too late and decided to skip middle. It was snowing on the way in, so some of our work got filled in a little. Only 2 of us so broken but still very loose. Snowshoes car to car, don’t even need to bring spikes.”
