Started out barebooting. Snowshoes needed half way up upper bridle and on high ridge trail with exception:
Section between turtleback mtn trail and shaw summit is snowmobiled.
Section from Faraway mountain trail/high ridge trail intersection to summit of Faraway is packed out from mini snow cat, probably all the way down Faraway mtn trail too, but we didn't use it.
Mt Roberts trail is very well packed, but a lumpy mess.
Didn't see anyone until hitting Roberts, then it was mobbed all the way down. Very icy in spots. Beautiful day in spite of the frigid start. |
