| Comments: |
Skied the 2.5 miles up Tripoli Rd to the trailhead. Took 1.5 hrs to get to trailhead, and was exhausting. 2.5 hours from trailhead to summit. Just under 2 hours back to trailhead and 20 minutes skiing down Tripoli Rd.
Saw about 12 other hikers, all wearing snowshoes. Snowhoes still a must. |
