Cold snap could be moving out light breeze in town and warm , not cold so might get back into spring weather ( well this cold snap and snow is spring weather for us)
Report yesterday most were turning back at Mirror Lake , wind and very cold.
Talked with one hiker that used the switchbacks Monday but said very icy and would not do it with spikes, same with the chute. This cold system was day and night so surface would not soften ,Trail is mostly dry to the bottom of the chute/switchbacks and west side . Now sure in August in Death Valley in a 400 ' foot crack you might find snow/ice. So we still have snow and ice but not like a normal year.
High today was 39 but down to 33 at 6 PM . 8-10 cars in the lots so many didn't show up.
Bring the gear and layers just in case this system hangs around a few more days .
