 | Comments: |
with previous trip reports and advice from Saddleback staff, easy route finding from the lodge area via Gray Ghost and Tri Color ski trails...side route to AT easy to locate..microspiked up to near AT and barebooted the rest of the way and boot skied down..quite a few short stretches of deep snow below Saddleback over to Horn, some posthole scrapes and arm scratches from sharp branches, that has not happened in a while!..t shirt and shorts kind of day, awesome views and 2 more for rodney |
