Little ice and snow on way up. As cold front moved in more standing snow and ice. In next few days traction will be a must! The few crowds before us packed down the snow making it slick on the trail. M-spikes made it fast going down and most wished they had them. Saw first icicles of the year. A few fairly new blowdowns made for some fun. |
