Comments
Our snowshoe route followed the ridge. Still, we aimed to avoid wind loaded slopes and sun affected slopes. The sun affected snow was wet and slushy. Some small wet loose sloughing was noted on steep slopes below us. We spread out for two steeper sections of the ridge. Overall though it was a great day out!
