 | Comments: |
Frigid start leading to a beautiful sunny day. Started at Greeley Ponds Ski trail. It is packed well combo of snowshoes and skis.
Mt Osceola trail is well packed but unstable. The steps have a lot of exposed ice and rocks. Use caution both ascending and especially if sliding down. The trail between East and Osceola proper has seen less traffic and is quite soft.
Snowshoes were on all day. If taking the ski trail use right branch ascending to stay above wet areas. Also if using ski trail snowshoes are REQUIRED! |
