 | Comments: |
Piper Mountain trail(red) was hard, hard soft snow covered ice. Especially at the bottom of the trail. Saw people without microspikes on. I can’t believe they made it up. Not sure how they got down. The top of Piper was bare Rock, wet wet snow and some ice. Kept my spikes on and had to constantly clear them of snow.
Heading out to Swett on the |
