Comments
Comments: Trail was packed down enough where snowshoes were not required but could have been used. Care was needed in places where the loose snow made the hard ice underneath a bit harder for the microspikes to bite into. We started down the Vista trail but it was not very well broken out and since we did not have snowshoes on we did not expend the extra energy to go all the way to the south ledges.
