Cold and gorgeous day heading up East Osceola and out West Osceola! The trail of East Osceola was broken out, but still required snowshoes. Thank you so much to the couple of women ahead of us who packed down much of the trail all day! we broke the entire Mount Osceola Trail out down to the road however, I would not say it is in great shape even with our four pairs of snow shoes. Snow is very fluffy, very deep, and the ledges looked ripe for future avalanches, especially after the coming snow tomorrow I would think. Otherwise, trails were in great shape from East Osceola to Osceola. Trail pics on elizacal on insta |
