Great day on the snowboard (splitboard)! Got pretty cold on the ascent so I put on all the layers in my pack. Saw many skiers and snowboarders all over the glades. I stuck to the main route because solo, I didn't want to get lost. Another time I will explore the glades. Once I was back down to the North Twin Trail, I rode the board in split mode without skins - pretty fast and fun back to the parking lot.
About 500' vert below summit I ran into a couple young guys on snowshoes who were looking for the hut... Unfortunately they were on the wrong side of the mountain!!!! They went back up and over - it's easy to get lost up there with so many tracks! |
