Trail very consolidated underneath a fresh coating of 2-4 inches of new snow with some significant drifts in spots. Met "Daddy Longlegs" in front of us who was packing out the new snow and finding his way through the blownover sections. Nice to chat with him on the summit until we ran due to the cold wind getting to us. Used snowshoes on the way up for the traction and to navigate through the drifts but barebooted on the way down, the loose snow on top of the hard pack made for some fun boot skiing and a quick descent. |
