olympic conditions update

[Blakej]

Just thought I give the quick update. I did a MTB ride up to 5200 ft yesterday at obstruction pt. No snow at all on the road and very little on the ridge. If your planning on going out maybe this will help in your decision on weather or not to bring a fluke picket or whatever and save the weight. This weather sucks

I climbed Mt Ellinor on the same day (22Jan). The road was completely iced over just past the lower trailhead so I decided to park and hike from there. The trail had zero snow on it until well past the upper trailhead. Up high there was tons of snow and route finding was a little difficult. The visibility was horrible and I couldn't see anything over 100 feet away which meant my camera stayed in my pack. If anyone wants to go climb Mt Ellinor, remember your snowshoes. They are not absolutely necessary but I think you will enjoy the climb much more than postholing.
