 | Lost and Found: |
A 40 oz stainless steel water bottle when descending South Hancock to intersection to North Hancock. I tossed in into the descending "luge run" and unfortunately couldn't find it after I subsequently slid down. Perhaps it will be picked up and reported by another hiker or can be retrieved by owner. I'm very sorry I didn't immediately throw it in my pack. |

 | Comments: |
At this point trail is packed and pretty stable. I'm guess the overall depth to be 24-30 inches. Snowshoes will help keep it so. Me and my hiking partner used snowshoes when ascending North for the aid of televators and also when following the ridgeline to South and descending. Towards the end of the walk-out, we switched to bare booting due to some balling under the snowshoes. |
