Bushwhack cut off the two major ones. The couple crossings on Iso trail were a little tricky, owed to unstable snow/ice bridges, which made it hard to find rocks. There's still water under snow in places. |

 | Comments: |
I was the first one out on this one following the most recent snow. On trail, I was almost always able to discern a past track. Snow ranged from of few inches on top of a consolidated base to deep drifts and unconsolidated snow that had me sinking a foot or more on bushwhacks. On Engine hill Bushwhack, I had remnants of old tracks in a few places, but was mainly on my own. I cut the corner of Iso trail and Davis path harder than normal, hitting some thick woods and deep unconsolidated snow. A fairly demanding hike owed to duration of trail breaking. |
