A gorgeous trail on any clear day. Snow is thin in just a few patches close to the parking lot, but after that the snow was in good shape. I used crampons and didn't bother to take my snowshoes out of my pack.
We started with light rain which turned into heavy rain soon after we passed the border of the ski area. Shortly before the sumit the rain torned into snow.
The avalanche conditions were pretty bad. We did a stability test on a more...
Winter is here! Time for those heading into the backcountry to learn or refresh their Avalanche Skills Training. This hike was part of a two-day CWMS course organized by Heather. We learned to identify avalanche-prone slopes and safer more...
