Mount Willard

Trail: Mt. Willard Trail

Conditions: Ice - Blue, Ice - Breakable Crust, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular

“Hard packed trail right from the tracks. Most of the trail was in good shape. Up higher you can see where there had been water running down the trail creating deep ruts in the snow/ice. Hillsounds were a great choice of traction.”

“Would have probably been willard #300+ today but have always joked there would be a day it would be an attempt and here we are. It’s totally doable if you wear waterproof boots (that are actually waterproof) or are cool with wet cold feet. But rather unappealing. Mainly writing so that if you’re thinking about doing things with more significant water crossings, be prepared. Or bring a kayak.”

Conditions: Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Spring Snow, Snow/Ice - Postholes, Slush

“Really nice packed powder trail going up in the late morning. By the time we came down, snow was quite a bit looser and there were lots of postholes. Bring snowshoes for this one - the microspikes and bare-booters were tearing up the trail by 1:30 or so. Lots of postholes. Beautiful day and beautiful view as always!”
