 | Comments: |
packed trail was a little soft because of the warm temps. I wore snowshoes to the top , hillsound trail crampons & my "SLIDY SLED" for much if not most of the way down. AWESOME. I`m surprised that I don`t see others using these sleds. they save a lot of time & pounding on the feet. mostly they`re a lot of fun. |
