 | Comments: |
wore spikes all day but probably should have switched to snowshoes before the switchbacks. Probably putting the shoes on once you cross the brook would be a good idea. I was not post holing so I was lazy and left my spikes on. 2 inches of fresh powder at the bottom and road, 4 to 6 inches near the top. |
