Comments
Comments: There were 7 in our group. Brief road walk on packed snowmobile trails, It didn't look like anyone had been on trail at least in the last week so we wore snowshoes from start to finish, though trail breaking didn't require a huge amount of effort since we haven't gotten much snow lately. When we broke treeline the snow was loose underfoot, I almost wished I had switched to crampons but we took it slow and steady up and down. We ran into a group of 3 on our way down, so the trail should be nice and packed out, at least until the next storm. I think it took us less than 7 hours total.
