report from someone who hit hood on the 31st and turned around midway up concluded that they hated snowshoeing and it was deep and fresh snow.

 

personally i'd take along an ax anyime i knew there was going to be snow.. just might not use it if it isn't warranted. secondly, if you have something like microspikes, those are a lot lighter than most crampons and have done the trick for me on st helens even when it was pretty crusty and slick in early spring. otherwise, like most things, if you don't bring them, then you will probably need them. if you bring them, you probably won't need them.
