Trip: Rainier - Camp Muir /gate/ snow conditions

Date: 1/17/2008

Trip Report:
Gate did not open till after 10am today- file complaints, it is the only way to instigate change- comment forms available at Longmire. I could understand it if they were plowing...they weren't today.

Snowshoes could have been used, but totally unnecessary- especially above 7000' - if anything crampons would be nice in some spots. Snowfield was completely scoured/hardpack. Rest of upper mountain 'appeared' to be the same.
