Heavy on the mashed potatoes but a great hike. Snowshoes seemed best on ammo but we saw barebooters too. Jewell is pretty messy (see above checked boxes) going back down ammo might be a better option. Tons of postholes; that's where the snowshoes really came in handy.
Do a better job of applying sunblock than I did.
Skiers galore doing some exciting, practically vertical drops. Great day in the mountains. |
