Comments
Comments: Great Pressie day, lots of sunshine and very little wind. Caps Ridge was challenging with the loose powder on the rocks. Difficult to climb some of the steeps. Gulfside had lots of snow from 1 foot to knee deep drifts making the travel slow going. Because it was all powder, you have to be careful of hidden potholes between the rocks. Valley had some ice on the trail but the rest of the trails were all powder snow.
