Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Whitney Main Trail Conditions 2012 (Out-of-Date)

It started to snow at about 5am on Thursday October 11th and hadn't stopped when I left trail camp at 4pm that night. I would estimate that I saw about 6 inches of snow or a little more on the ground. It started to accumulate very fast toward 4 PM. I used micro spikes to take the main trail to the summit and that worked well.
