No issue with Tigiwon Road or the trailhead. Trail had just a few spots of packed snow in the shade on the TH side of Halfmoon Pass. Same conditions on opposite side of the pass. Snow became more consistent on the opposite side of the creek while in the trees but was still packed on the trail. Above treeline the snow was more windblown and sparse leading up to the ridge. While on the ridge much of the leeward side of the trail was covered with the windblown snow while the windward side was bare (see pics). The final pitch had similar conditions with some deeper snow in the pits between the boulders. Traction/spikes and gaiters are a must now. Wintery weather is rolling in the next few days so these trail condition will change quickly...
