 | Comments: |
The trail was well broken but comes out just below the ski lifts on the Exterminator ski trail
. One ski patroller stopped and told us walking uphill was not allowed but let us get to the summit. We stayed on the very side of the ski trail. The true summit is in the trees past the highest lift. |
