 | Comments: |
Ascended via Bee Line and descended via Mt. Major Trail. With the exception of some drifts up high, trails were generally packed powder. A few choppy areas on Bee Line (booted, so probably pretty awkward if attempting to snowshoe), as well as a few slippery areas on upper Mt. Major Trail due to buttsliders. Blue ice areas generally pretty well covered. I was able to bareboot the ascent without issue, but light traction would be helpful for descent. The Brook Trail and Boulder Loop Trail also appear to be decently packed out for booting. Snowpack is generally about 6-10 inches. |
