Wore snowshoes entire way today though could have easily bare booted to mt. Osceola trail junction. My snow shoes saved me again this week on the steeps not only for traction but the heel lifts! Trail could be done in light traction but there are some really tricky spots so I wouldn't recommend it. It snowed on and off all day and came down hard at one point. The col was wind blown and had some decent sized drifts and was wind blown again on our return. The chimney by pass was a piece of cake. The sun made an appearance as we were almost back to the car...still a great day out in the snow! |
