Amazing day on Wildcat!!!! Spent much of the day riding with Rocket21 and then needed the calendar day so I skinned up to the top terminal of the lift and hiked to the summit from there at the end of the day. Terrific views, as usual!!!!
NOTE: This is mostly on ski trails - why are people bare-booting and punching into ski trails???? It makes it really rough to ski/ride as we experienced in the morning!!!! Also, careless postholing could put hiker access at risk - I saw a group of 4-5 descending and postholing, some of whom were carrying snowshoes!! C'mon folks!!!!! Good to bump into Larissa and chat - who, as expected, was wearing snowshoes - excellent!!!! |
