 | Comments: |
Trail is well marked and traveled. Mostly packed powder with a a few drifts (3-5"), a few bare spots and a few ice flows. Lots of open or semi-open area the last 25% of the trail. Views are spectacular, although today was cold and windy. We went clockwise around the loop which is the steeper ascent. Was a good idea with the snow and ice. I would not want to have come down a few of those slopes. |
