Comments
Comments: We had a surprisingly awesome day! We only saw 3 others on our way out. We wore spike all the way up and the monorail is very sable. There are some spots that you have to walk in footholes but snowshoes would have felt horrible with the iced over footholes. Once we got to waumbek and beyond it for the view point it was almost all blue skies to washington. It was so warm on the way up we had little on. I had a tank top with little gloves on for the entire way down! There were some crazy postholes but only between starr king and waumbek. We only post holed 1 time. We stayed on top of the monorail all the way out too. I got sick of the sticking spikes so i managed to bareboot all the way from the summit to the car. Melt has started to happen for sure. Spring is here
