It was an incredible day for Suzanne’s grid finish! We started late so that we could come down the ski trails with our butt sleds. Trails were slushy, but we were still able to spike it to just about before the hut/junction. Lots of standing water on trail, breaking bridges, bare ice now exposed. Once past the hut we put our snow shoes on for the rest of the day. We thought getting up A would be the hard part, but the hard part was actually going from A to D, which was as others have said today, incredibly challenging. There are deep post holes from where we and others punched through with snow shoes, the trail is deteriorating rapidly and looks like a late April early May trail. Lots of treacherous spots and very tedious stepping. Having broken my ankle in the middle of the Pemi, I was very conscious and aware of where I was putting my feet 🤣 because the ridgeline was downright ankle breaking. I joked that we were down to a 3 inch monorail [that's not monorail] and others said you got a monorail? It was absolutely terrible trail conditions, but somehow the best day ever. 🩷❤️🧡💛🩵💙💜 |
