|  |  |  | Comments: | The snow was certainly soft today. I wore spikes until the Avalon junction and switched to snow shoes to up Tom, over to Field and down to Avalon. I went back to spikes after leaving Avalon. The monorail was decent but will continue to deteriorate with warmer temps. The weather was overcast but it was a nice day in the mountains |  |  |  |  | Name: | Rob |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: |  |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2019-04-19 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
