Comments
Comments: today's snow changes things, but in case it's helpful for anyone looking for beta: Sunset Ridge trail was a boardwalk on Thursday - completely packed out and firm, snowshoes not needed. Some avoidable glare ice on the slabs above treeline. Laura Cowles appeared to be well broken out as well, but not packed down.
