 | Comments: |
Fun day guiding a guest who wanted to work on some icy trail footwork/safety/strategy. KRT from the tram side was its usual washed out and gravelly self down low. Through the glades the ice is flowing strong. I wore my rockspikes today, but crampons would not have been overkill. Be careful on this trail right now, especially if you are not experienced/comfortable in icy conditions. |
