 | Comments: |
Please please please wear snowshoes in this incoming warm weather. The snowpack is two or more feet deep. As temperatures soar, it will become very soft and any postholes will solidify when the temps drop back down adversely affect all subsequent hikers.
There was about 2 inches of powder from the weekend storm. Wore snowshoes roundtrip. Track was generally good, though someone had postholed up to their knees about halfway up. |
