| Water Crossing Notes: |
All water crossings are hoppable for now. Bridges rotting. Noticable rise in water levels from morning to afternoon. Tomorrows high temps will make them go up a bit. It should be noted sever undermining of the snow in the area of the Dreaded Deathdeftying Drainage of Doom and i post holed multiple times in snowshoes. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Mainly writing for the TM; A few leaners/blowdowns along the trails, 10" max diameter on one of them. Did some limbing. All water crossings, with the exception of the one within the 1/4m FPA at the start of the trail, are in great shape and draining well. I did a little touch up work on all of them to unclog them in preparation for spring melt. Don't worry, I left you stuff to do! |

| Comments: |
A snowglobe hike in fresh falling snow. A superb day to be outside for the sheer joy of climbing, even though peaks don't count.
No evidence of traffic on Scaur/Sabba/Scaur BW/FoolKiller BW. One backcountry daredevil was skinning up to ski the slide.
