Trail had been broken out from the parking lot..a little crusty down below once up towards the brook snow consistency changed to powder and trail got looser. Ramp up from the viewpoint somewhat loose though several sets of snowshoes on the trail today will change that. 8-10 inches of powder higher up with some decent drifts along the ridge. Perfect conditions for descent with loose snow ..we flew..A nice snowshoe track being formed until the last folks we saw today were booting it and doubtlessly trashed the trail up high..Terra was sinking 6 inches or so. Congrats to Sabrina and Terra who both finished their Third Round today |
