 | Comments: |
The road was not snowmobiled recently and there were 2-5" of snow. We pulled sleds with our packs and skis on them. The trail had not been broken out since the last snow, so there were about 8-10" of snow. The steep sections were difficult, and it was slow going in many places. After the longest 1.1 mile, between the tent site and S Crocker, we continued to N Crocker and back out. The CVR had been snowmobiled while we were on the mountain, so the skiing was perfect, it made for a speedy trip out. |
