 | Comments: |
Barebooted on well-packed, very firm trail to North Twin summit. No traffic between North to South Twin, snowshoes were necessary. Ella cruised on top of the unpacked snow. High winds at the summits. Light traction good for descent from N Twin. Many moose postholes along Little River. |
