Anyone break trail today???

[calicokat]

Thinking about going up tomorrow morning.....was wondering if anyone broke trail, if so, how far?

Is a summit attempt out of the question or will the deep snow prevent it

Thanks all

I didn't start out until abut 9:15 today, so those on the tram cars before me did a great job breaking trail to Tamarack Valley and on to the summit. It was a quick snowshoe to the summit for me along the beaten path.

Here's some pics:

Great pictures Kathy. Looks like I am going. Was there any need for crampons or all snowshoes

I just had snowshoes and hiking poles - they worked fine.

Those are great shots Kathy, thanks for sharing them.

Taking sister up ther tram just so she can see where I go play all the time, she has to be at conference at 3 PM in Long Beach so I'm limited on time and what we can do.

Looks like the wind was blowing pretty hard - great summit video.

Aaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

I miss living in SoCal. 4.9" of rain in Phoenix, AZ area just not the same as Mt. San Jacinto with lots-o-snow.

Jealous of you guys/gals.

we broke trail all the way to the peak yesterday...trail is nice and packed and doesn't goof around too much.

Kathy, does the map photo depict the "Sid Davis" route and did you follow the same route back to the Mountain Station? - Thanks and great pictures.
