So the weather looked good and the trail up wishbone we heard was clear so we figured this would be a good shoulder season summit. I had done this a few years ago on the day before Vimy Ridge day in April and today was more pleasant except the snow was a little softer than in April but not bad at all. We needed snow shoes about a 1/3 of the way up and then on the final scree to the ridge we took them off as the snow was fresh snow and wasn't that deep. It was a real good dry approach on bikes except the creek was running a little high and took us a moment to find a place to cross. Great day with some beautiful views of snow caped mountains.

| We didn't get a group shot on the summit because the summit was actually covered in about a 3-4 foot snow drift that we figured wasn't very stable, so our summit visit was very short |
