Comments
Comments: Packed powder all the way to Mt Roberts summit. Some ice but all easily handled with microspikes. Past the summit on the High Ridge Trail, we followed the lone snowshoe trail trying not to posthole too much and cursing our decision to not bring our snowshoes. At the intersection of the Faraway Mtm Trail, we struck out postholing along the path until we spied some Ski tracks and chose to bushwhack down. We ran into the Skiers skinning up on the Cold Spring Trail with their dog and apologized for the postholes in their tracks. We continued down to the pump house and followed the icy trail back to road and parking lot. Only saw one couple on the way up, the skiers, and another couple hiking on the Cold Spring Trail to the pump house. Gorgeous day and weather couldn't be beat. Apologies for the posthole; Mt Major was looking awesome and the whites too in the distance.
