 | Comments: |
Group of 7 broke trail up Willey via Ethan Pond Trail and Willey Range Trail. Ladders were partially covered but no real problem on snowshoes. It was slow going with deep drifts particularly above the ladders. We were thrilled to find the stretch from Willey to Field broken out earlier in the day. The snow was light and unconsolidated resulting in lots of slipping. |
