 | Comments: |
Nineteen Mile had some avoidable ice, and a bit of black ice.
After the slide on Wildcat Ridge Trail the ice flow increased and the bare rocks were few and far between. Traction is 100% necessary, however the ice was starting to soften and that made it easier. From Wildcat A to D the ice is in certain areas and not along the entire ridge.
We took Polecat down and moved along quickly and stayed way over on the right side of the slope. No issues with ski patrol, one skied by and said 'it's a great day to be out' and he was right! |
