Comments
Comments: About 4-6in. of new powder over little to no base. We used snowshoes, though there was barely enough snow. We took the all the way around to the southeast end of the east peak and bushwhacked up, using skid roads at times. We returned in our tracks and bushwhacked the north peak from the height of land. This area has changed since our last visit due to logging and could now be more accessible in summer.
