Nice seeing Chad out there today. Read his report first. We met Chad near the top of the "misery mile” as we were heading up and he was heading down. As we were on the trails later in the afternoon, the snow was softer so there was more posthole action up high by the three hikers that were not in snowshoes. 5 of us were in snowshoes for the steeps on the way up and down. The trail was mostly in good shape with some bare ground down low with small patches of ice throughout. The road walk was mostly clear with snow mostly at the start then patches ice and snow while the majority of the road was clear. |
