| Comments: |
Good snow conditions going up Avalon and across the ridge in the morning, turned over to slush in the afternoon at all elevations within the footbed. Talked to some ice climbers on the summit of Willard who noted good ice quality on the pitches. Red bench outlook is A+ view of the presis and Ammo Lake is a hidden gem of a lake. |
