 | Comments: |
We used spikes to the Gale River parking lot and switched to snow shoes. Switched back to spikes on lower Gale River trail. 2 inches of fresh powder low up to about 6 inches on Galehead. We had to avoid a lot of open water which was a pain. Higher up it’s well packed. The Twinway at the hut is not broken out. But a party crossed Garfield Ridge. Mid winter conditions today. |
