Great day out with Hiker Ed. Snow squalls throughout the day. Took all outlooks in, including Zeacliff Pond - had a bit of solid snow there. Decent visibility in between squalls. Saw a total of 4 people (including the hut caretaker) and 1 dog all day. Good to run into Jackrabbit and company!!! Ed used screw boots; I didn't use traction and it was OK. No postholing - solid. |
