Great day for Ella who completed her 48th and final winter 4K today, 10 days shy of her 4th birthday. She fell into a deep spruce trap on the ridge between Pierce and Ike, but luckily extricated herself. She had a great day. |

 | Comments: |
Lots of drifting from Tuesday's high winds. We followed one other hiker to Ike. Trail easy to follow and re-break. Snowshoes above Mizpah Cutoff to Ike and back. Winds mild; temps rose from 1 degree at trailhead to high 20's at summit. 3 jets performed maneuvers overhead for a long time, obviously honoring Ella's achievement of finishing her winter 4K |
