What a disgusting mess of postholes and ankle twisting rototilled snow. If you love a beautiful snowshoe track, avoid this hike at all costs until the next big snowfall. The whack out to west field from AZ and then up to field was the most pleasant part of the day and it was like crawling up, over and through 18” of mashed potatoes and blowdowns. |
