Got to the trail head at 6:15 a.m. and it was snowing hard and the wind was blowing really hard. The front was passing. We started out in snow for an hour or so. There was only about 2 inches of new snow. It increased by 3 or 4 inches near the Tent Site.
I met a lot of nice people and some cool dogs. Pictures were plentiful and spectacular with all the snow. Use Crampons from the start of Liberty Springs Trail and kept them on the whole day. People were struggling with the micro spikes. There were balling up the spikes were not long enough to grab fully. A lot of MSR's on the trail. It was really cold at about 9 degrees just before the tent site where I turned around. I broke out the trail all the way to that point. Exhausted but happy and had a fantastic time. |
