 | Comments: |
Trail was broken out after the weekend, but there was significant drifting. Broke through and over to Liberty. Very windy in the early morning but seemed to be subsiding as we returned. We were the first out but passed lots of others going in as we exited. We were in snowshoes the whole way though most coming in were in microspikes. Trail was not that well set up so they were slipping. If it warms and refreezes the spikes will be prefect. |
