 | Comments: |
We saw no one all day. Trail was broken out to the cabin, we broke trail through about 6"of powder from the cabin to summit. I lost the trail briefly between the cabin and summit, but righted my wrong on the way back down. So if you follow my tracks heading up, stay right at the Y. Someone signed the register 1/1/16, so they must have been very early or spent the night as we left the lot at 8:45.
Spikes were perfect today although I had some balling at the end as it warmed up.
Flurries all day. |
