Hand-feeding mountain chickadees
Most of the winter you will need snowshoes or skis, but 2020-21 had relatively little snowfall (at least through mid-January) and the snow got fairly hard and compacted through repeated daily freezing and melting cycles. It reminded me of mountaineering in SoCal, where snowshoes are rarely required. I hiked up there in my boots.
According to Wikipedia, chickadees are of the same genus as the birds called "tits" in Europe, hence the tag. Sorry to disappoint.
2023 edit: According to the latest science, feeding the chickadees is not harmful for them: mitchbarrie.net/files/stats_and_articles/dont_feed_the_be...
