Sidewalk to Jackson. Really tight squeeze with the trees and some drifting and unpacked powder between Jackson and Webster. Also a fair number of postholes along that stretch, though it felt solid in most places. You could do it in micros (probably could even bareboot it) but the postholes were a little annoying since we preferred snowshoes along the ridge since there was a lot of soft stuff. Postholes down from Webster too. Nearly twisted my ankle a couple of times.
Clearest day we’ve had in months. Bit windy on the peaks but otherwise a great day to be out. Crowds disappeared after Jackson. Only saw three other people after that, and two were together. Pics should be up tonight or tomorrow on Instagram @quantum.moxie |
