We woke up early to about half a foot of new snow, and took our time eating breakfast and packing up. We had planned to climb Fairchild Mountain, but due to the snow conditions and Eisman's soon to be day of wet-footing, we decided against. Besides, we could not see Fairchild, or Hagues or Mummy for that matter. Snow had fallen down to about 9,000'. It rained the rest of the way home.
Water is readily available along the route.
All in all it was a great learning experience. We would not hesitate to hike in rain and snow in the future.
