Same as yesterday's post, road was clear and dry so we parked just above the radio towers. Snowshoes weren't needed but microspikes were a must. Started at 5:45 and reached the summit by 8:45. We missed the trail and ended up higher on Tigger than we would've like so it took longer. I agree with the previous post, take the standard trail up to the ridge and work your way up. That is the route we took down. It was very windy on the summit (damn near lost my hat) as I'm reading was the case on many other summits today. The hard pack snow was good in the morning up to the top and the whole route down was very slushy and slick (good amount of postholing). Got back to the trail head by 11:00. Looked like the skiers had a pretty good descent (saw about 10 by the time we got back)
