 | Comments: |
I wore microspikes until the ravine, Hillsound Pros on both ascents and descents, and switched over to snowshoes to help smooth out the trail. The frozen footprints, some deep but mostly shallow, made the footing tricky. The Kanc probably got around 3 inches of fresh powder today making for a very picturesque day. |
