| Comments: |
Top ladders have a lot blue ice. Good amount of ice under the fresh coating of snow up Willey Range after Kedron Flume. Avalon Trail was ice under as well. Appears that A-Z, along with Tom Spur has not seen any use for a bit from Avalon Trail. Tons of post holes the whole route, some very deep; be careful with new snow cover. Kept microspikes on the whole hike, they are a must right now, but snowshoes may be needed after today's fresh coating. Was getting a bit deep by end of day. |
