Comments

Attempted Mosquito Mountain on Saturday. Turned around about 100m from the summit after a couple whumphs and not liking the look of a wind loaded start zone. Enjoyable snow on the ski down to the valley. Good coverage on the mosquito Creek trail. Photos of the surrounding area for reference.
