Ski tour! Wanted to introduce my friend to ski touring. His boots did not work out and that may have been a good thing because the ski part of this was pretty treacherous. The snow was sticky heavy slush. Easy to descend skiing while staying close to the trail: this is a good option for skier and snowshoer combo groups. Looked like great conditions for snowshoeing!
Some other notes
- The trail is a little steeper than I expected.
- It was 2-3 people wide for the first 800 feet or so which is enjoyable.
- We turned around at the lake, so can’t provide any conditions report beyond that.
Edit: returned the next day midday and in the early evening. It was a much cloudier day and the snow was more enjoyable- less sticky. Made it past the lake to the saddle, great snow there at the top for 3 turns.
