The trail was well packed down for a good share of the way. The higher you got the less consolidated it was but as long as you stay dead center of trail up high you won't post hole. Microspiked to the top and put on snow shoes coming down to minimize likelihood of postholing on side. Wind was howling on top but we had great views. Great way to finish up the "official" winter. 22 left for next winter :-) |
