 | Comments: |
Potash Mountain Trail was completely unbroken after the past 2 day storm. For the majority of the trail, I was trudging through about 15 inches of light powder. The final .2 miles of the ascent and the summit were under more than 20 inches. It was a long slog to the top but a fairly quick descent. The snow is very loose powder and needs a lot more sets of snowshoes to get it packed down. |
