 | Comments: |
Trails were all packed and solid the entire day. I wore snowshoes car to car, but only for the risers.. and then because I was too lazy to carry them. Most others were just in spikes. Falling Waters was a little soft on descent, which was understandable given the beautiful warm temps! Stepping (or in my case, tripping) off the trail will land you in a pretty decent hole, but the trail itself was beautiful.. although I have to say, I have never seen trails with so much pee on them. There were a few spots of exposed rock on the ridge, which I'd imagine are only going to expand over the next couple days. |
