 | Comments: |
The lower section of Pine Bend was badly chopped up and heavily postholed from boots yesterday. After the refreeze overnight it was a real ankle sprainer this morning. This section of the Whites received a good amount of new snow from last weeks storm on top of the existing base. The snow quickly softened by mid morning. We used snowshoes all day and they really should be the only option right now. No issues with ice today in the steep sections, just soft snow.
There was some traffic coming up Scaur Trail. At least 6 via PBB and I think all 6 were in snowshoes today. |
