Enjoyed chatting with Peter, B & G and crew a bit around the mountains and saw Becca flying by in the snowfields ..Stellar above treeline day with moderate winds throughout..Consolidated snowfields around Adams made for pretty good going..lots of folks out on the trails today..we wore snowshoes the whole day and their traction was adequate..some looked a bit nervous on madison with micros or less.... |
