| Comments: |
Light to moderate snow was falling the whole way to the summit of Waumbek. Microspikes were sufficient to about 3000 ft then snowshoes. Met 2 barebooters on the way down who broke trail to Mt. Star King. Broke 5-6 inches of fluffy powder to Waumbek and back. Beautiful day in the snow globe. No views until we were driving. |
