Hiked via Webster Jackson Trail. Trail is excellent shape, trail corridor easy to follow. Snow is minimal at 1 to 3 inches on trail.

There is a thick coating of ice under the snow for most of the hike. We used microspikes most of the way and switched to crampons for the last quarter mile to the summit. Probably could have done the summit with the microspikes but I felt better with crampons on the icy ledges. Snowshoes not needed today.

Light snow most of the day and no views. A great day to be out and a good hike for someone like me who hasn't been out in a while. Saw 5 people on the trail all day.
