 | Comments: |
6+" of fresh snow on lower sections with much deeper wind blown drifts on trail on way up and along ridge. Broke trail all the way and when completed the loop of the peaks found someone had bare booted to the start of the loop trail. Made the walk out pretty miserable as they post holed and made the trail service really uneven and the snowshoes to keep rocking into the holes. Thanks. |
