Well nice hard pack up to starr king. We wore snowshoes all the way up and back to starr king and barebooted down. We got to the view point and went on. First parts couldn’t follow very well but then caught blazes most of the time. We made it about a mile to south weeks. Just before we headed down into the col. We had a turn around time of 2 and we stuck to it, it was about 8†of powder on top of a crust that you break through to more powder underneath. So we had a great day and great views! We headed back and met some dogs. All in all good day. |
