Howdy All
Hiked up Skyline yesterday with Pyrodude and Miracle Marilyn. It was a gorgeous day. I was in shorts and t-shirt up to the traverse, where the wind was howling with the incoming storm. We donned microsdpikes, additional clothing, gloves/mittens, etc. and continued up. The boot track in the snow was well-defined. As we headed up from Coffman's, it started snowing and the route became icier.
This afternoon, there's at least several inches of new snow in Long Valley. This means the traverse will have new snow on top of old, icy snow and that the route will need to be broken in again.
Miles of smiles,
