Comments
Comments: This heavily trafficked trail is fairly well packed out, but the footbed is still narrow. I wore snowshoes roundtrip, but it could have been barebooted to the top.

That said, very little traffic on any of the other trails on this peak. Someone postholed the start of the Ridge Trail. Snowshoes very much needed.

Mostly clear skis this morning. Temperature was -1F around sunrise, but fortunately there was no wind.
