 | Comments: |
Got in a nice lap of the ski trail late this morning, basically had the place to myself too. Made the error of skinning up Old Path to the summit, when I should have just stayed on the ski trail, you should learn from my mistake. Caught some decent looks from the viewpoint behind the cabin, and fleeting glimpses of the ravines on my way down. The trail itself skied very well, with some fairly well packed areas, others of nice soft snow, and minimal ice. Great to get out for a skin, even if it was of the more "extreme" variety. Snowshoes recommended if you're not skiing. |
