Snow Conditions?

[SeanBrenckman]

Hi everyone.

My wife and I are in town on vacation and plan on doing a tram to summit hike this weekend. We brought crampons and axes, do you think we will need to rent snow showshoes based on current conditions?

Thanks!

Not if you follow other people's tracks (see Rick Kent's C2C recent trip report) but the forecast calls for very high winds: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=33.80653802509606&lon=-116.67892456054688&site=sgx&smap=1&unit=0&lg=en&FcstType=text
