recent snow has left up to 6 inches over various surfaces from bareground to crust snow to thick ice. the wet snow is sticking well and ice was really not an issue. i started up the right hand branch of the loop then bushwhacked over to a woods road that leads to an alternative trail to the firetower. the main trails are well packed out over to little blue job, but i took one of the untravelled trails over to get some unbroken snow. from there i headed north then looped back around, over the main peak again and down the jeep road which was well packed out.
i wore snowshoes, but main trails could be booted/spiked.
nice afternoon hike around blue job. the local views were great with interesting clouds and light. nice to have all the ice back under a decent coating of snow.
