snow bank frozen solid when I arrived around 710 so I opted not to park in it..went down to the plowed turn off a few tenths down..however others did make it there..one hiker told me later someone plowed the snowbank, when I came back, DOT had come by and plowed another bank..hopefully it gets shoveled by the remaining hiker coming out..main lot very rutted.. |

| Comments: |
Greely Ponds trail solid with few inches of powder, great traction to the jct..same with Mt. Osceola trail, thanks to those that did it recently..snowshoes car to car..some deep drifts up high and also wind blown hard packed trail..no ice..chimney not broken out, bypass not broken out, bypass of bypass was the way to go! did some unintentional sliding on the way down..met 6 other hikers with shoes including Ed H..Greely Ponds trail on way out had ski tracks and bareboots but no damage..great view day!!! |
