Lost and Found
Lost and Found: Managed to lose my phone - almost certain it is right near the cairn in front of Galehead Hut. Pretty sure it is lost until the spring thaw, but would appreciate getting it back if anyone finds it. 
 
Comments
Comments: Cold, quiet day on the trail. Snowshoes the whole way, including most of Gale River Road. Up until the hut there was a smaller layer of unconsolidated powder. From the hut to Galehead summit it's a little deeper. There's a nice snowshoe track the whole way.
