Big thank you to those who broke out the trail on Friday. Heading up the trail was possibly the nicest snowshoe track seen all winter, with smooth packed snow the entire way. Multiple hikers with snowshoes and a couple skinning up on skis further groomed the track. Unfortunately on the way down passed a half dozen hikers bare-booting up and ripping up the beautiful track... (thats why we can't have nice things). Anyhow, all around great day in the mountains with superb conditions, nice to meet JZ and Mike up there. Snowshoes trailhead to trailhead. |
