Just after starting up the trail, snowshoes were pretty much required.

As we headed up the Mountain, there was some pretty serious treewell danger. With all the snow falling off the trees, I suspect some of the tree wells to be 8+ feet deep.

Fortunately, some backcountry skiers had already broke trail a few days prior. Saved some effort.

At ~4,000 feet, I had the summit fever.

Back down the bowl to cruise around on the snowshoes.

We didn't see anyone all day until our way down the road where we passed several people on the way up. A few of them later flew by us on their skis on the way down... so depressing
