Winter conditions on the Monte Bar at the end of april...

I decided to hike the Monte Bar for the second time this year after the first of January. Already from at home I could see that this time the snow situation would have been much more challneging then at the beginning of the year. 
I started my hike again on the unofficial park slot just before Corticiasca. I followed the official path up to the alpe Musgatina and I reached the Monte Bar hut after 1 hour and 10 min. From there it is usually just 20 min to the top, but not today... A wet snow layer varying between 20 and 60 cm made the last 200 m a real challenge. I needed 45 minutes to reach the antenna but as usual I could profit from a wonderful view.
The descent was along the same trail.

Monte Bar is not a difficult summit, T2 overall. In presence of high amounts of snow the most steep places should obviously be avoided.
