 | Comments: |
Broke the trail (4-5" new snow). Once on the steeps and slide of East Osceola the snow was drifted in deep. Lots of work. Some barebooters were making a narrow trail near top which we four with our snowshoes helped pack out for future. From East to Osceola more of the same with lots of drifting on steep sections. The chimney bypass was blown in. Traction will probably be needed soon on this. We did it with MSR's or Microspikes. We had another great day out but we worked for these two! |
