Comments
Comments: Really good conditions with a nice pack forming. Put on snowshoes at the start of Fire Warden's trail and wore them the rest of the day. Might be able to get by with spikes if you prefer. Only a few inches below 3100 feet, so it gets a bit boney in places, but some traction is helpful. Above 3100 feet snowshoes helped us fly.
