steep but well maintained trail to about 4500 ft elevation, where route was snow covered to the summit. Snow pack was stable but deep, up to 5 ft or more. No avalanche conditions found, no evidence of previous avalanches on this route.
left parking lot at 7:45 with scattered showers in the morning, easing up as the day went on. Snow showers above 4500 ft and breezy. excellent but steep trail for 2 miles up to snow level, and snow shoe tracks to the summit along the same route as the summer trail. reached summit at 11:45 and the weather lifted enough to get local views of nearby mountains and valleys. All of the group returned to parking lot uneventful, by 2 pm.
