Didn't get started until almost noon. Wore snowshoes all the way to the summits and back to the lake then we switched to spikes. Snow was soft until the temps dropped in the late afternoon. Still lots of snow covering the steep sections. Fishin Jimmy was pretty choppy from barebooters but the remainder was well packed. Great to see John and June at the lake. Nice views on the summits and ridge. Thanks to Karen for a great day. |
