Going up this morning the ski trails were solid and newly groomed. We wore microspikes to the top of the ridge. By then skiiers were coming down and seemed happy to see us.
We put on snowshoes for the rest of the hike.
Two hikers were ahead of us and we followed their tracks which were mostly on the trail. They did a good job with some trail maintainance too.
Started getting soft on the way out but not bad. No snowshoe postholes.
The ski trail on the descent got mushy and a little slippery. |
