 | Comments: |
All trails were well broken and consolidated with a firm base. Some light dusting of new snow in places with loose powder. We wore hillsounds to Tom and Field, where we switched to snowshoes for the ridge walk over to Willey. Some minor drifting in spots. The snowshoes and hillsounds worked great today, especially on the steep descent on Avalon.
Nice day today with mild temps and warm sun. A bit breezy on some of the open summits. Great day out with Hiker Ed today. Great meeting up again with Rick B., Laura, Giff, and Jiffy today.
