 | Comments: |
Called it at the hut due to frigid temps and strong wind.
Trails were tracked but not consolidated. That said, there was only a few inches or so of fresh powder on a solid base; therefore, either snowshoes or light traction would do the job. (I wore Hillsound crampons, my partner in crime wore snowshoes.) Not much for views, but there was great buttsledding and good times all around.
Thanks to Chad P. for a great hike! |
