Did this one with Monica and the Randomites. Most started out in snowshoes and kept them on until back in the lot at the end of the day. The trail down low and through the bushwhack was covered with 4"-6" of fresh powder. After crossing the final river crossing the fresh powder got deeper and was 8"-12" as we neared Davis Path. The most difficult section was the final 50 yards of the spur trail leading to the summit - steep soft powder. At times felt like running on a treadmill. Unfortunately no views today. |
