By 8am we have been bouncing within the X Path up mountain.
The snow I’d seen the earlier night time had gotten rained on…
The decrease mountain snow was very funky.
Regardless, we pressed on and labored our manner into our favourite grove of old-growth Lenga timber.
The snow was rippable.
It was the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
It was heavy to begin with then bought very heavy down low.
Wasn’t dangerous, although and we had a riot battling by way of the bamboo within the runout.
Do watch out within the forests right here proper now, please.
Our buddy simply broke his decrease leg yesterday within the woods hitting an unseen impediment below the snow…
After we got here again to the bottom space the traces have been fairly lengthy resulting from not a lot being open due to the very excessive winds.
We determined to name it a day and ruminate on our success and the grins on our faces.
