Best Hiking Window

Friday mid-morning offers the narrowest window of relatively improved conditions as high pressure crests and winds briefly ease. Plan to summit and descend well before Friday afternoon, when a new low-pressure system and associated snow and high winds are forecast to arrive. Saturday and Sunday carry continued snow chances and unsettled conditions. If conditions permit, an early Friday morning start is the best opportunity in the next 48 hours — though the wind chill advisory persists through Friday morning and should not be taken lightly.
