Basin Bushwack, Flume Slide trail, Franconia Ridge, Liberty Springs
A woman ahead of me broke the 3 miles on the valley of the flume slide trail. at least 12"-15" fresh powder. She turned back just before the headwall. Thank you again for breaking it out. If you are thinking of going up the flume trail, don't do it. Unless you are looking for a extreme challenge and have the all equipment. very icy with lots of fresh loose powder. I was sinking up to my knees almost every step. The headwall had at least 2' of powder and 3' drifts/slides. I should have turned back myself. Extremely slow and exhausting. Franconia ridge was 15" fresh powder unbroken all the way back to liberty. Once on liberty the trail is so hardpacked bare boots worked fine, I slid most of the way down. |
