| Comments: |
Trail was unbroken from the road but now has plenty of snowshoe tracks. Very sticky until 3/4 of the way up and then turned into pleasant powder. Whopper drifts up high! Tried to go around a couple but immediately fell into spruce traps. Learned my lesson and stuck to the trail as best as I could. Thanks to Larisa and Toby for breaking trail with me. Weather was so much better then predicted. |
