Comments
Comments: Fast trails! I wondered whether it might have been easier going with heel lifts but not enough to change out of regular Hillsounds and into Tubbs. If your calves aren't up to a mile and a half or so of pretty much constant steep strain, you may want to use shoes. The descent is one long butt slide... Weeeeeeeeeee!

Chatted with a couple of skiers and hikers. Happy people on the mountains on this gorgeous blue sky day!
