Spectacular weather for a spring hike. Nice beautiful fresh powder to hike in. Snowshoes are the only appropriate choice for footwear today. Trail was very unconsolidated and needed snowshoe action. Later in day and as we went down in elevation, the snow got sticky and springlike . We saw plenty of people postholing up and down. Again, wear the snowshoes ! Butt sliding down Avalon was fantastic, great way to start spring! |
