 | Comments: |
Snowshoes worked perfectly up the cog until approaching the Westside Trail junction, from there on out microspikes or hillsounds are fine. Gulfside, Crawford Path, and Monroe Loop have some drifted spots but mostly packed snow and some easy to manage ice. Skiing conditions along the tracks are not good but I did see one skier out and some turns down low, need one more good storm to cover everything up.
Mild temps and low wind made for an easy hike above treeline! |
