Bare booted up to the turn onto Osceola, trail was slippery but not extreme. Wore hillsound trail micro's up & down. the slickest spots where the frozen log bridges & flat refrozen ice on the Greeley Pond trail hiking out. Osceola trail was mostly packed snow with occasional ice on the steep sections. Bringing an ice ax was overkill but I was glad to have it on the steep sections coming down. weather was perfect, high 20's F and calm |
