 | Comments: |
Trails are well-broken out, but snowshoes still recommended. Trails are largely unconsolidated, with drifting snow closer to treeline (plus televators - why not use them?). Several large groups were microspiking it and chewing up the snow (or post-holing the moment you step off the center of the trail). Above the treeline its the reverse, spikes are better choice - especially on the ridgeline. |
