8 miles of hiking • 3250' elevation gain •

Hiked East trail (Heartbreak Ridge) up, then West trail (Windbreak Ridge) down. It was quite a slog because I didn't take my snowshoes - took 3 hours up, half of this in the last mile. Even though Table has barely 3400' elevation it was 3-4 feet of fresh snow on the summit, with upward to 6 feet in drifts! There were even small cornices near east overlook. Snowshoe tracks stopped short of east and north overlooks, but luckily there are good tracks along the summit connecting east and west approach trails.
