 | Comments: |
Well packed trail. Unfortunately there were 3 people ahead of me with spikes and 2 coming behind me barebooting. They didn't make any postholes but did chop it up a bit but the incoming storm will take care of that. I can't believe I was the only person in snow shoes and that none of the others were even carrying them. A little windy on top but the views were great. |
