Point to point and snow shoes door to door. Soft / semi consolidated snow throughout the entirety of the hike, before south twin there is a stretch where spruce traps could be an issue, this part of the trail filled in from wind before our arrival to break through, past south twin peak there were drifts heading down towards twinway where still exposed. Heading to Galehead by twin Brook trail was heavily snow weighted trees which there was some good time heading to & from summit, spent navigating the branch tunnels. Coming down nothing notable, Garfield ridge/ gale river trail/ beaver brook XC trails all were soft pack… towards end snow was getting sticky.
Bring the spikes in case but nothing other than snowshoes makes much sense out there.
Great time & windy day with some gridder friends😁👏
Have fun & be safe, happy hiking 🥾 |
