First one on the trail and didn’t see anyone else until returning to the lot. 2” of fresh powder until higher up. 3-4” mostly in snowdrift’s. Lost the trail twice approaching the summit of West peak. Stay to the left going up, not the right. At reaching the ledges of East peak, took my snowshoes off and bare booted to the summit. Minimal ice. On return to West peak, snowshoes back on. To my dismay at reaching back to West peak, my beautiful track was trashed by someone in spikes. No postholes but a lot of divots. Bummer!!!
