Review:
Big Snow Mountain lies in the wilderness of the Alpine Lakes, and on the north side, this mountain maintains snow for most of the summer season in the deep slabs of glacially scarred rock on the north face. A trip to the summit of Big Snow can be achieved via some technical climbing above Hardscrabble Lake or via the Hardscrabble Trail, which is the easiest of the options but at 25 miles round trip, is quite long. Hikers can also use the Dingford Route, which is much shorter but involves a lot more technical knowledge and bushwhacking.
