Chilly day! Avalon Trail past Mt. Avalon was generally well packed, however blue ice was starting to poke through later in the day due to buttsliders. Drifting at the top of Avalon Trail. Willey Range Trail was broken out to Willey and toward Tom, however there was some drifting between Field and Willey - folks were able to get through today in Microspikes, however if the wind continues to blow through the night, snowshoes may be necessary in the morning. We wore snowshoes roundtrip without issue. |
