 | Comments: |
Plenty of snow on trails but Greeley Pond trail and Osceola Trail are well packed. Bare booted with no post holing on Greeley Pond trail. Put crampons on when things started getting way vertical on East Osceola. Some drifting but not significant. Very little ice; snow has it covered. Chimney bypass was no problem. Snowshoed out to Tripoli Rd. No need to thank me for knocking off all the low hanging snow from the branches :-) |
