Thank you so much to whoever went before me...I was pretty much prepared to break trail the whole way, but someone went up in snow shoes earlier. This meant most of the trail, except for a couple of drifty sections near the glade, had snowshoe tracks. No monorail on the ascent, and while I wasn't breaking the snow was pretty soft and snowshoes were a must. Some people came up after me so the descent was a little more packed, but still mostly deep, soft snow. Lovely day, totally socked in at the top, though nice views on the way up and down. Clouds cleared completely as soon as I hit the lot, ha. |
