Funny, everyone told me about the dangers of the traverse when there was snow around. When we got to the area I asked my Skyline experienced partner, when do we get to the traverse? The reply was we just went through it.
I guess if you have winter experience, it ain't all that and a bag of chips. I do know they pulled a bunch of Marines off there without a lick of winter gear the same weekend Ellen Goodman got stuck up on the peak six years ago.
