Comments
Comments: Amazing day on the ridge, in and out of the clouds with a lot of undercast after leaving Lafayette, which seemed to be stuck in the clouds despite the rest of the ridge being open. Wore microspikes door to door, although with a few exceptions on Falling Waters we could have barebooted just as easily. There were some drifts along the ridge with postholes up to knee height or so, but not too many. Old Bridle Path was very well packed, where Falling Waters had some more loose powder but both had definitely seen plenty of traffic.
