Comments
Comments: Beautiful day to be up on the mountains! Trail was mostly packed powder, with some areas of fresher/softer powder. Saw a lot of folks with snowshoes today, so the trail was getting a good packing down. I was able to make due with Microspikes only, but in an ideal world could have used snowshoes. Spikes only could handle the trail without issue. Even saw a group of guys barebooting completely.
