Comments
Comments: Couldn’t convince my crew it was snowshoe season so there were 4 sets of spikes and me playing Zamboni in the back. Greeley Pond Trail is hard packed. Heading up to East Osceola becomes more powdery as you gain elevation and the traverse was well drifted with plenty of fresh powder.

Snowshoes are the way to go, can’t beat the televators for the steep stuff.

We took the bypass to the chimney, there was decent traction.
