 | Comments: |
Snow started at about 2600 feet. I wore microspikes up to the ridge and then snowshoes for the rest of the day to Willey and then back to Tom and down. It made for much faster going. The snow is still deep and the monorail, in sections, is impressive. A real workout for these old knees. |
