 | Comments: |
Access road open as of 11-8-23. Light snow dusting from early morning squall. A lot of mud on the first couple of miles but it was like cake frosting, you didn’t sink into it, it just spread a little. Intermittent ice flows at the higher elevation, pretty much avoidable unless it was hidden under the snow dusting. Rock spikes went on at Frost and stayed on for most of the descent.
