Wonderful hike today. Trail was well packed going up to North. Coming off of North was tricky in between the peaks. At first it was difficult to find the trail and then once on the right track the snow was soft and deep with the trees creating a difficult time as they were so thick through this area. Passed someone only in spikes heading towards North and they were postholing significantly which also made the journey in this section harder than it should have been. Off South the butt sledding was good not great and the walk out was fast. |
