Trip Report: Overnight Snow Wheeling

Our overnight snow wheeling trip turned out awesome. We hit the mountain around 7:30pm and were in the snow by 8pm. The weather turned out to be just about perfect. The expected weather system didn't arrive until the early morning. The moon was 94% full and there were a lot of openings in the cloud cover so we had great natural lighting. The snow that stopped us New Years day had settled enough that we pretty easily broke trail up the mountain. The next day we pushed higher up the mountain and encountered some massive snow drifts and a few tree wells. We were ultimately stopped large snow drift about 25 feet from the top lookout area. Probably could have made it, but it just wasn't worth the work to go 25 feet.

Nice! It's cool to see things from different perspectives. I haven't had a chance to go through my video yet.
