| Comments: |
Nice hike a day after about 7" snowfall. Not much use for snowshoes down low, but halfway up they could be used. Some in our group did use them, while others just took them for a long ride up and down. Down low, the snow was wet, with a fair amount of balling up underfoot, more noticeable toward mid-day. |
