| Comments: |
The Ethan Pond Trail was well-packed, as was the beginning of the Willey Range Trail. The ladders midway up did have ice, but we went down them using rope. Near the top, the trail wasn't broken out well and there was around a 1/2 foot of fresh powder. The summit was socked-in, so no views, but the Willey Range Trail was fun, especially coming down, where we got some buttsliding and rope practice. |
