Comments
Comments: Trail starts with no snow and by ~2500' all snow. Thats when my snow shoes went on and stayed on till I got back to this spot. Trails were ruff in the morning as I was one of the first up and much better in the afternoon as at least 15 hikers in snowshoes did some trail magic. The first bushwack was not in it typical location and went further down the hill and twisted around alot. Another hiker behind me went the more typical route and I followed that back on my way out, MUCH better route and a bit shorter. Thank you to the young guy that put down first tracks through 6-8" of snow on the first bushwach higher route. Hopefully many of the other 15 hikers behind me followed our path and that route is now broken out.
