With the rain at lower elevations yesterday at coolish temps I just had to
check out the snow on the crest trails today.

Arrived at Ellis TH about 12:30 and it was 29 F. Only a light breeze. Rocky
Point was icy but doable, tho tricky in spots. Back towards TH on the
service road which was slushy and while it was carved up by snow mobile
tracks it was skiable for the most part. I then did a short section of
Survey/Switchback, up at first-that was hard ice and no fun-kept thinking
this is going to be hard to go back down.

All in all it was good to be out on the snow but conditions are really on
the poor side. Can’t say I recommend it.
