Comments
Comments: Seemed longer than we anticipated. A bit of frustration while continuing snowshoe pack, and two microspikers flew past. About 16 inch wide is fairly firm/packed. Multiple post-holes to either side. Pluto-platter slider descended before us on virtually 80% of trail. He must have had a blast. At several steep grades, snowshoes need to be on tight. Much of my descent was one snowshoe, one v.large winter boot, one pole. v. well packed all the way to Moriah. Had one Continued further North, definitely broken but not as densely.
