 | Comments: |
Plenty of unpacked snow on the road walk that snowshoes would be helpful for. First couple miles of trail down low were a but bony, but once you start to gain elevation the snow depth increases. There were a couple bare booters, and they did posthole a little here and there, so bring your snowshoes! |
