Big thank you to the snowshoers who packed down a great trail everyone can enjoy with just spikes if they choose. Very little of the bare-boots-after-fresh-snow mess that has been twisting knees and bending ankles on so many trails already this season. Lots of snow-bent trees on the ridge, all passable.
Excellent butt-sledding from both peaks |
