We hiked the "tour de massive"on Saturday, hitting north massive, massive green, mt massive, and my boyfriend also went to south massive. The trail is mostly clear of snow, although we did use traction to gain the ridge at the end of north half moon creek trail. Other snow patches that we hit between north massive the my massive were a bit deep, but slushy. Gaiters were a must to keep our feet dry! I had crampons with me, but only ever needed my yak-traks. The southwest slopes trail had well-packed snow on the ridge and only a few spots where the trail was covered on our way down. Others said it was a little difficult to find the trail going up because of the snow, but it was easy to spot on the way down. Only real difficulty we ran into was a creek crossing at the end of north half moon trailhead, which we added some stones to get across.
