 | Comments: |
As expected, the path was bootpacked all the way to the summit. A few areas of ice and frozen slush, but I was able to bareboot without issue.
Very little traffic on the other trails. Snowshoes would be the way to go, particularly with the inch or so crust on top of a foot of snowpack.
Intense snow squall around 3:30; blizzard-like conditions on 113. |
