Peak Condition Update | Hoosier Ridge

Details
Conditions are very similar to Eph 2 5's update 3/24. Except today, there was packed snow (super-highway) from Hoosier Pass to treeline. Today did not use any traction or snowshoes, though carried both, stashed above treeline. Minimal postholing without them. There are a some snowfields above treeline that can be either avoided or crossed without excessive postholing. Surprisingly dry up there.

Scanner	Additional Confirmation, if needed 4/3/2012 2:10am Went up to Silverheels on 3/31 on this route. I have to say--the conditions weren't too bad for late May! Was that you in the orange tent just above treeline at 7:45 or so, jsdratm? Left the snowshoes at the trailhead; snowfield at treeline is so well-packed you shouldn't posthole at all. There was no unavoidable snow beyond that first packed snowfield.
