What a day! Snowshoes start to finish, trail was packed down pretty well with minimal drifting. Still wouldn't recommend spikes - too soft and why ruin a good thing? Watch your head - there is soooo much snow that you're up in the branches getting your hair combed near the summit. Summit sign was completely snowed over but summit itself was down to the bone. That sun felt great today! |
