 | Comments: |
Snow coverage of about 2-3" above 3000 ft. - enough to make it slippery. Minimal ice but it was hard to tell if the snow covered up some ice. Georg bare-booted comfortably all the way. I used microspikes for about a mile on the descent from Glen Boulder and down.
Winterish day for sure - but plenty of sunshine and hardly any wind made for a spectacular day. |
