 | Comments: |
Trail had 2 to 6 inches of fresh powder that turned wet and sticky down low later in the day. Only myself and 3 other hikers,two of whom didn't hit Osceola, none of whom had snowshoes
But with the drifting up high, snowshoes would have been helpful. Postholes were hidden beneath the snow, making them a pain in the ankle. |
