| Comments: |
packed out frozen granular at the bottom of the trail but gets softer and very powdery as you get to higher elevations. snowshoes were perfect for the conditions. tons of snow packed down on the ridge to the main peak. ran into a group of skiers and a good amount of hikers, even with the lack of visibility. tough walking up to the peak, only could base it on the small parts of the cairns that weren't covered in rime. forgot our sleds for the way down, but still a fun adventure! |
