Hey guys,

I’m based in Vancouver and have been doing some local hikes recently. Noticed there’s still a bit of snow on trails at higher elevations, and it’s been making things pretty slippery in spots.

I’m thinking about doing The Chief next weekend (saturday) but wanted a reality check what are the current conditions like up there? Any snow/ice on the trails or near the chains? Is it manageable with regular hiking shoes or do I need spikes?

Not trying to show up unprepared and regret it halfway up.
