 | Comments: |
Both Greeley and Osceola trails were well packed out. The steep sections of the Osceola Trail approaching the slide were loose in some areas. Two of us used snowshoes with heelavators, one wore crampons. No real issues negotiating the upper Osceola trail. Snow pack was 5-6 ft high on the mountain. Trails are soft and deep just off the packed out portion resulting in deep post holes. |
