Went up Clark and down Manning…. Trail has been broken out…. A few sections between Cardigan & Firescrew was tricky to follow because of wind blown snow but Gaia helped me locate trails very quickly. Tubbs flex alps were perfect…. Trails are not ready for microspikes…. You’ll be miserable if you try. Great views, saw a lot of skiers. |
