 | Comments: |
Trail has a good snowshoe track from parking lot to glades, and from end of glades to summit cone. Glades were being heavily skied today. What was mostly powder on our ascent was more icy with moguls on the descent. Needed snowshoes with aggressive crampons where trail crossed or ran along with glades. On summit cone, trail is not broken out, or even findable. A pretty prominent track went right toward the ski buildings. From there you can take slopes to tower, or follow a pretty prominent bushwhack.
No wind on summit, which is a rarity for Cannon. |
