 | Comments: |
Trail is nicely packed now, though still not totally consolidated (especially after the hut) due to the dry, light nature of the snow from yesterday. Definitely recommend snowshoes above the hut. Saw a group pulling pulks wearing spikes headed to the hut…the guy at the back (behind the last pulk) was doing a lot of churning…it had to have been easier in snowshoes. |
