| Comments: |
Snow depths ranged from less than 6' at the bottom to 8'-10' at the top even with drifting. The treadway was well trodden from multiple bearbooters. Traction was actually better in the treadway vs just off it where it was a tad bit icy. Tom used Hillsounds on the descent; I went without and was OK too. |
