 | Comments: |
Trail was in decent shape on the way up, but snowshoes were definitely the better choice as it was mostly packed powder (the top few inches were softer powder so the barebooters were chewing it up a bit). Trail between Liberty and Flume is now broken out. It was absolutely gorgeous until several groups of barebooters went through and made a mess of it. There were quite a few people out yesterday. One group sledded down most of the way - it looked like perfect conditions! |
