| Comments: |
There was a car in the lot in the morning, but they left. Our group wore snowshoes the whole day. Sawyer River Rd had both ski tracks and snowshoe tracks. Signal Ridge required breaking trail the entire route, in usually 4-6" of hard-covered snow with no monorail underneath. Easy river crossing. Best views from the summit ever. The wind was whipping along the ridge. We had the mountain to ourselves. |
