Fantastic day to be out, bright sunny, minimal winds. All trails icy, frozen mud early. I bear booted to Tom with no issues but put on my rock spikes before heading back. Trail heading up to Field was a frozen river in spots. Snow was 2-3 inches all the way to Willey. Warm in the sun, felt so good. Took a pretty good fall on the wet rocks heading to Willey. Great views at Outlook just past summit. Prezis were stunning covered in snow with bright blue skies behind. Saved Avalon for last, views here as always were great. Had All but Willey to myself. Many out today but still had the trails to myself. Love stopping & listening to the silence, so peaceful. Great day!
