About 4-5" of fresh snow since previous report. Powered by the previous evening's turkey and hash brown casserole, our duo broke the trail back in to treeline. Not much postholing, but not a solid bootpack either. E/NE slopes just before treeline are getting more loaded (about 1.5 - 2ft now, not pictured) - take care. Partner used microspikes up & down, I used them down only. Snowshoes not needed (yet). We were the only ones on the mountain aside from a small herd of bighorn sheep.
