| Comments: |
Ascent up Spur towards Adams was firm, packed drifts. Crampons sufficient. Descent off Adams on Star Lake was through loose drifts up high then firm drifts near the lake. Osgood up Madison was firmly packed out. Valley Way was well traveled and packed though snowshoes would have been best at times. Virtually no ice, with lack of thaw and with high snow amounts this winter. Fantastic trail conditions. |
