Is there seriously not much snow in those mtns right now?!! Looking at your pic, it looks very hikeable and also that you wouldn't need any snowshoes. Is this true? lol

Still early in the winter and the temperatures have been quite warm in the area for a week or so. Some of what little snow was there probably got blown away by the wind. However, you do definitely need snowshoes to get to the pass. We were sinking ankle- to knee-deep ON SNOWSHOES; even deeper if we got off the trail. I suspect there is much more snow now with the recent storms.
