Peak Condition Update | Mt. Massive

Details
Still snow on the route. Great snow climbing and killer glissade today. If snow is not your thing, you should wait. You can avoid most of the snow, but up high it is mostly unavoidable. The trail is nearly impossible to follow with fidelity and requires many snow field crossings.

Comments or Questions

jmc5040	Ski 6/11/2014 2:21am Is there a continuous line to ski from the summit down the SW Slopes route? Thanks
summitridge	Nope 6/11/2014 2:26am No, not down this route. The east face has a ton of snow. There may be a line on that side.
rbailey23	Post-holing 6/13/2014 4:45pm Is there any post-holing toward the summit? And would there be any need for micro spikes or snowshoes?
summitridge	I did need them 6/13/2014 7:41pm I took micro spikes but did not use them. I had no post holing at all. A few of the steeper snowfields I crossed required me to kick some steps, but extra traction was not needed.
