We took advantage of beta from previous weekend. The road is nice and packed down a good part of the way. We then broke new trail into the trees at some point aiming straight towards the summit. Snow shoes were a must as it was very powdery. We didn't use traction or axe, but of course good idea to have. We did stay ridge proper most of the time, except for some of the towers we dropped down And went around. Still provided some fun scrambling. We descended from summit following the cairns of standard trail which is doable but more post holey. On and off the ridge would have been easier. We Didn't see anyone else on the mountain. Beautiful day!
