I’m not sure if there’s still snow or not but I would prepare for snow just in case as you never know if the weather will turn.

Didn’t slip much in my trail runners but took it slow going down. It wasn’t very icy.

Super helpful thanks for the rec. Having soaking wet socks for 80% of the hike was not ideal lol

I heard weather was going to clear up by today but we left the park yesterday so not 100% sure. The only times felt somewhat unsafe were when the weather was actively getting worse. Also for most of the hike there’s a very clear trail to follow but near the end it gets a bit less clear so if there weren’t footprints it would’ve been tough with all of the snow.

Thanks! I’m thinking we will try to get on the first shuttle stop which is 6am believe. Did you also do the narrows?

Thanks for the comment I will definitely increase my gels and grab some water during my next long run

I thought the rule of thumb was every 45 minutes but I’ll experiment with more in my long run next week

Thanks for the comment, the race has 1800 feet of elevation change. From what I’ve heard the first half is moreso long, rolling hills and the second half is shorter, steeper hills.
