Thanks to Dick Bedard (trail report below) and his group for breaking out the trail. Ms. Brandi got #18. Snowshoes required all day, snow got extremely soft in the afternoon. Postholed even with snowshoes on the way down. Views from summit were awesome, company on the summit was great. Congrats to Mike for #48. For anyone who is interested in seeing the days adventure or trail conditions we did post a video on YouTube. Click on link. |
