 | Comments: |
The snow pack is starting to deteriorate. Even with snowshoes my group was post holeing on the outer edges of the packed trail. Saw some other groups out and they were experiencing the same thing. The trail between the Twins is difficult to follow in many places. We got off trail just below South Twin and a few people fell into spruce traps. |
