| Comments: |
After the storm, the 19 Mile saw a lot of traffic, but the Carter Dome trail only had six people break it in front of our group of seven. Those in front of us turned around at the Carter-Moriah junction, so we had to break the rest of the way over the summit and to the hut. No tracks heading North to Middle Carter either. A few more inches fell Saturday night, so there'll still be work to do on that route. On our way out Sunday, we saw a few parties heading in late to the hut. One was going to the Dome from the hut. |
