Great day with Hiker Ed's Grid group. About 3 to 4" of fresh powder on the trail today. Broke trail to the Gulfside. To the summit it was hard pack and loose snow with some hidden ice and exposed rocks. Snowshoes required. No other traction needed. Three bare booters on the trail today causing some posthole problems. |
