| Comments: |
Trails not packed in morning but a-ok in afternoon when many more folks were out and about. 90% of people seen wore snowshoes which is packing things nicely. South Peak only done today and was slow going on ascent due to drifting and not much breaking, but this will change as more folks were heading up. Did not do loop today aside from poking into loop for bit to north. Low hanging branches due to snowpack depth, so taller folks may need to bend to get through some areas. |
