 | Comments: |
Upon the recommendation of a couple hikers that were finishing as I was starting Hedgehog, I left my snowshoes in the car. I wish I had brought them for the televators and for the extra assurance, monorail is stable but getting soft, when I came back from Hedgehog I grabbed the snowshoes and used them on the way down Potash, spikes up and down hedgehog and up Potash, could've used snowshoes the whole day just to be safe |
