 | Comments: |
Only short section above Greenleaf Hut and short section at top of Falling Waters with any snow/monorail. Saw no one with traction today. Enough rock tips to use in these sections and monorail was a dirty soft pack surface providing adequate traction if careful. Nice day, very busy trails. Nice running into Pam Bales (AKA Master of the Prezzie Traverse). She; with her rescue group; had gone up Skookumchuck; and said it was the nicest she has ever seen it. |
