| Comments: |
Very cold to start (single digits), but incredibly clear today, which allowed for incredible views. I was one of the first ones in, so the going was a bit difficult with 8 inches of fresh powder. No snowshoes needed, but I had my microspikes on all day. By afternoon, most trails were packed down quite nicely from the few of us who were up on the Willey Range trail. Gorgeous day to be out in the Whites. |
