The trails were all compact the whole way through, primarily writing this review to note the NEW 4inches of fresh powder on the hard packed trail, 1 person using snowshoes but I (along with everyone else I saw) did not really think they were necessary. A few mid-leg depth drifts headed to Willey - which snowshoes would not have helped in this case. Another round of 6+ inches and I think snowshoes will be back in fashion on most trails again! |
