| Comments: |
Groomed snowmobile trail for first 1/2 mile. Choppy snowmobile trail for another 1/2 mile and ski tracks for another mile. Broke trail from there through 1-2 ft of wet heavy sticky mashed potato snow. Summit canister was missing the bottom - and no sign of register from within. Tough, frustrating conditions up high with warm temps in the deep steep sticky slippery dense snow. We smoothed our the track as best we could on the way out - once temps drop, it should firm up nicely. |
