Took the televator up to East Osceola and the water slide down. Snow was very sticky today so I had to whack it off my snowshoes a million times on the climb. Put my rain pants on at the summit and glissaded down the top 1000 feet (with an ice axe) because that was really the only way down today. The snow is damp, powdery, and slippery. Greeley Pond Trail is well broken out. Bottom 500 feet from the junction up the Mt Osceola Trail were heavily drifted in the morning. Top 1000 ft to the summit were super slippery but broken out. |
