 | Comments: |
The weather said it could snow before 9am and then get better as the day went. That isn't what happened but it was great. It started snowing at 9am and continued all day, the clouds tried to part but they needed more effort. The trail had tons of flow ice but was soft and sticky enough to not cause too much trouble. There were two or three spots on the way down that were pretty hard ice with snow dusting on top that made me swing from trees instead. Great timing to grab Cabot, if it all freezes up, I would go with crampons. Thank you Mark for tagging #20 with me! |
