 | Comments: |
Snowshoes are a must, though to be honest I had to retreat as The trail markers were swallowed by snowdrifts and ski trails. Plenty of Skiers make it tough to explore the trails, as there's nowhere to go to avoid each other! Very Cold, high wind, goggles needed. Anywhere you step that is not a packed ski trail is several feet of loose snow. |
