| Comments: |
Trail to summit hadn't been broken yet since the fresh snow Monday/Tuesday. Microspikes were fine up to the Falls Cutoff, significant postholeing on the cutoff trail, swapped to snowshoes from here to the summit and back down. Two of us broke trail up and back. Drifts towards the summit were between knee deep and waist deep. A couple more people running through there on snowshoes and the trail should be in nice shape after today's snow. |
