 | Comments: |
Put on microspikes from the start. The unpacked powder got deeper about 1/2 mile from hut so switched to snowshoes. The Osgood Trail had lots of snow, some bare rock and some ice. there is plenty of snow to support snowshoes although it doesn't seem like anyone is using them. Kept them on for about half the way down and switched back to microspikes. |
