Comments
Comments: Fun adventure getting off the beaten path with Snowflea today to work on her winter blue line project. We barebooted the roads and had our snowshoes on the rest of the day. Tom Wiggin was pretty awesome. Deeeeep powder and drifts, challenging route finding, and it lived up to its signage: "Steep and Loose". It was steep. Didn't see any loose gravel but we definitely found some loose snow as there was evidence of a small avalanche about halfway down into the bowl. Blueberry Ledge and Dicey's Mill looked well traveled for the parts we were on.
