It has been a dry year -- some friends recently went up Mummy with light hiking shoes -- but we got more snow yesterday (4" at the ski area). There is often deep snow on the South Loop Trail beneath Griffith (that trail may be officially closed because of the fires damage), and on the north loop trail, the stretch from Devil's Thumb south may be treacherous. What we usually do this time of year, is go by NLT and take the Devil's Thumb shortcut; that shortcut is tricky in good weather, trickier with snow.

We are going to have 80+ weather in Vegas by next week, so I doubt the fluff will last long.
