Comments
Early season tour to Vista Pass before the road gets snowed in. Road passable in a 4x4 with chains. Parked at the trail head and skinned up the trail to about 2000m where snow started to get lighter. Anywhere from 80-90cm below tree line around 2100m. Alpine slopes where wind affected but still skied well with about 50cm of coverage.
