I tried to talk Carrie into calling in sick, but she's still actually a little sick, so decided to go to work.
Steady climb. Trail is about 12" of light fluffy powder. There was a group of 5 ahead of me, all in snow shoes. When I caught up to them at about 2400', they made me break to the summit. I should have went slower.
I intended on bagging Jeffers, and started to follow a herd path off of the summit of blueberry. It soon petered out and became thick and was slow going. I decided it was too late in the day and had no desire to try and whack back in the dark, so I turned around.
The trail is well broken, but still beach sand and there isn't a ton of base, so the are a few slushy spots and some exposed rocks on steeper sections. |
