very nice day for carrigain. we saw about a dozen folks, all but 1 in snowshoes today. while trail is packed down low it remains unconsolidated higher up. great snowshoe conditions for sure . far reaching views along the ridge and from the tower where we didnt stay long as it was a bit cold. fast trip down with some great snowshoe skiing conditions.. nice to run into a few folks we knew today and to chat a bit. we took the first reroute avoiding the lower crossing but otherwize stayed on the old trail all the way up. great day out with megan and john and pepper |
