| Comments: |
Trails were well packed up to the ridge and switchback walk. Micro spikes or Hillsound spikes worked well. In the switchbacks there was some drifting, so switching to snow shoes proved the best. We left them on all the way back down to the flats and went back to spikes. Conditions subject to change, of course, due to impending storm. |
