| Comments: |
first half mile had no snow. The next mile was annoying, snowshoes were needed because of post holing but the monorail was not stable, footing all over the place. The last 1.5 mile to the hut was nice. We broke 4 inches of fresh wet snow. From the hut to Lafayette to Lincoln, micro spikes were adequate. The hut caretakers were busy preparing for tomorrows open. |
