Chris went hiking January 11, 2013 6 miles 500 feet gained
It was nice out today. A bit shorter of a trip than planned due to a late start and bad roads taking up more time than expected. About 20º out, but breaking trail kept the cold in check. The snow was powdery and just a little sinky.
I ended up turning around at the terrible traverse—the snow looked fine, and the avalanche forecast was okay, but because I was by myself I didn't want to chance it. Pastrami sandwich for lunch.
Hoping to get around to Badger Lake next time around.
