Shoes the entire trip. Two back country skiers passed me at the beginning just past the bridge. They made it to the bump just before the true summit. If you step off the track, which was easy to do, you were up to your knees, or higher, in power. Heather's track from yesterday was covered up by new snow and drifting snow. The last few tenths of a mile or so there was 3+" of new snow with drifts of 6-12". On the way down I passed 12 other hikers and 8 other back country skiers on their way up. Now the trail is in very good shape. |
