Trail Conditions: hard packed snow below treeline. Snow/ice above treeline.

Special Equipment Required: micro-spikes above treeline. No ice on upper Ammo.

Comments: Forecast was partly sunny. Ha! The huge summit building appeared from the whiteout when we were less than 100 feet from it! I mistook the 4-foot trail sign for a huge summit tower from a distance of maybe 15 feet - very strange! Not a single soul on the summit around noon and anywhere on the entire route! Did not seem that cold but was in fact only 3F on the summit. The wind near Lakes of the Clouds hut was way stronger than on the summit. So, it was sunny and clear on Madison that day? Unbeliavable!
