| Comments: |
West Mountain lift trail to Bullwinkle's, then Timberline to Sugarloaf summit. Sugarloaf side trail and AT over to Spaulding had one old track covered with several inches of snow. From Spaulding to Abraham was unbroken, roughly a foot of dense powder over solid crust. Open areas on Abraham were a mix of rocks and crusty snow. Backtracked over Spaulding and Sugarloaf to get back to the car, so it is well broken out now. Thanks to Donna and Joyce for company and help trailbreaking for the first two peaks. |
