| Comments: |
Snow begins about 3600 feet or so. Avoidable for a bit then ya gotta just embrace it. About a 1/2 mile of it, firm enough for us 1st thing this morning but had softened as we descended. Glad we were early. Cannot imagine what that was like for the dozens we passed going up as we descended. |
