Little Lakes Valley conditions?

by summitdweller » Mon May 29, 2017 5:12 pm

Anyone know about the hourglass couloir conditions? How much parking at the trailhead? Want to do Dade and pipsqueak next Saturday. Assuming snowshoes, crampons and ice axe, how about creek crossings?

Thanks

The road is gated and snow covered at the pack station, which is one mile below the summer trailhead, and plenty of parking. Yes for snowshoes or skis, definitely crampons and ice axe for the Hourglass. You'll cross some creeks, but nothing that will give you problems.
