 | Comments: |
Avalon Trail to A-Z Trail junction - barebootable without postholing. Light traction if preferred.
Avalon Trail to Avalon Spur junction - slippery frozen granular. Traction needed. Used MSR snowshoes without an issue.
Avalon Trail (and WRT) to Field - a bit of a mess due to lots of postholes. Snowshoes recommended.
Willey Range Trail from Field to Willey - decent amount of drifting snow over frozen granular. Snowshoes recommended.
Willey Range Trail from Field to A-Z Trail - some postholing, snowshoes recommended.
Mt. Tom Spur Trail - probably barebootable with light traction.
A-Z Trail from Mt. Tom Spur Trail to Avalon Trail junction - barebootable perhaps with light traction. Not much postholing at all. |
