Air Line in great shape the first half under tree line. Drifts became more frequent the second half under tree line. Had to break trail the last mile at least and got knee and waist deep a couple of times. Snowshoes might have been helpful but only in specific sections. Microspikes worked great the rest of the way. Turned around at the junction with Gulfside Trail. The trail sign is down, looks like from wind. Had whiteout conditions at that point, turned around and called it a day. |
