Details
There is still quite a bit of loose snow below and above treeline. I found it necessary to wear snowshoes and got tired out about 1000 feet below the summit. Even with snowshoes there was quite a bit of postholing with depths up to my thigh. If you don't like trudging through snow, you may want to wait a while on this one.

randalmartin	Very cool picture of the bird 3/29/2013 2:28pm How close did you get to take that?
jsdratm	re: 3/29/2013 2:40pm Thanks, there were two of those brazen birds following me around looking for dropped food or something. I was able to take that picture from a few feet away.
