 | Comments: |
Trail was untracked after the first major crossing, with more than a foot of powder, which was somewhat consolidated after the storm a week ago. The herd path starting near the outlet of Norcross Pond was very challenging, probably 90-120 minutes to the summit. On the descent, was able to sit and slide many of the steeper upper sections. Wore snowshoes from car to car. |
