Comments
Comments: The road walk went by quickly and it was nice to walk on the hardpack where the snowmobiles had been. The trail is well tracked for the most part but has uneven choppy sections. Upon our ascent we stayed on the official trail and it could really use some more snowshoe loving, the herd-path is the popular and well tracked route. No wind on the ridge and very light wind on the tower. Some drifting on the ridge, but nothing significant. Glissaders have the trail packed like a sidewalk - so it's a walk in the park. Overall, excellent conditions today. Saw one dog and her companion. Great hike with A.P.
