After several days of heavy snowfall the area was under deep unconsolidated snow.
Luckily for us, a track had already been beaten into the Hyak Lake and Nordic Pass trails. However, the abandoned road system beyond, by which we had previously approach Olallie Mountain, was a different story: we soon found ourselves wallowing in deep snow over scrub trees and blowdown with occasional tree wells. On return, we found a much more reasonable route on a beaten road passing above Rockdale Lake. We saw nary another person underway the whole day.
