Left at around 8:15 this morning there was a nasty wind at the Highland center which would be the worst spot wind-wise. It was chilly but fine if you kept moving. Avalon is packed down nicely. A-Z had some small drifts, but not compared to the ridge. Ridge has lots of snow and drifts. Snowshoes required. Glissading was fun down the Avalon trail after Field :) |
