My wife lost her green black diamond ice axe. It's very sentimental so a heady topper (or some homemade cookies if you don't drink beer) to whoever finds it and emails me to return it. Please and thank you!!! |

I ski toured and my wife snowshoed. There's a thin rain crust until the steeps and then the snow is pretty good and is definitely deep! Fun chutes between the switchbacks. Down low barebooting or light tracking is ok but up higher 2 barebooters in front of us were sinking and wish they had snowshoes. While their boots were sinking a few inches, surprisingly they never really postholed in the snowshow/skin track. We turned around at the last steep summit push where the trail fizzles out and we decided not to climb since we were down an ice axe. Looks really fun though! |
