Piper Mt. Trail was well broken-out all the way up. A ran into a pair of guys at the summit with snowshoes who had broken out the trail all the way to South Piper (thanks, fellas!). Rest of trails were broken out, but not as packed as Piper Mt. Trail. I did not have any need for anything more than Microspikes. Overall, a beautiful winter day to be out! |
