 | Comments: |
We didn't encounter the unavoidable snow until 2900'. Then the unstable, very narrow monorail began. No matter what we wore we sank in to our knees and deeper several times, even on the monorail. The snow was extremely soft coming down.
Asher Brown, at the Hut, said he hadn't seen anyone up there in 3 days. Full Hut this Saturday with a school group. |
