| Comments: |
Summit cleared shortly after I left. Wore xc boots with gaiters and when not skiing mirco spikes. At Pumpelly put on my rubber boots and followed cairns in the thick fog to summit. descended with no trouble bare boot and hiking poles. Put my skis back on halfway down Lost Farm. Skied Parker up to Cliff Walk intersection and back and all the way to park Hdqrs. Snow is melting fast. Long road walk was made shorter by park employee that picked me up on his way fishing/home. Fun day. |
