 | Comments: |
Snowshoes and bareboots (only at the lowest elevations) are the way to go. Lost the trail (due to ski traffic) a few times, but always got back on after following ski trails. Lots of snow up on the ridge (more than expected), but there was only a few inches of new snow over an already broken trail. |
