 | Comments: |
Valley Way is solidly packed out and ready to go tomorrow. Airline has also seen some use although not as much as Valley Way. Gulfside up to Adams and beyond also saw a lot of use. The snow is deep above the hut. Snowshoes can be worn all the way. Next to the hut you walked over 55 gallon drums standing upright. The views from the top were spectacular. There was some wind above the hut but nothing terrible. Goggles were not necessary but sunglasses were. |
