 | Comments: |
19 Mile Brook Trail was broken out to beyond Carter Dome Trail. Carter dome Tr. had some evidence of use with 4" to 6" of new snow, up to Zeta Pass, but above that there was one to two ft. of unbroken snow to Carter Dome & back over S. & Middle Carter to the N. Carter Tr. & down to the Imp Tr. Between that, the bent over spruce trees and some 3' to 4' drifts, it was tough going. The ridge is by no means packed out, even after our use. The Imp Tr. had been used this day. The walk over to Joe Dodge Camp was unbroken, but not deep. |
