Notes

The weather today was *chefs kiss*. We didn’t use traction until almost 3 miles in. Loads of ice - snow shoes were overkill. We encountered an extremely aggressive grouse going up to Carter dome as an fyi. The ice going down north Carter trail to Imp was very thick for extended periods of the trail (traction definitely needed!). We did Imp face which was a delight! Adds a few miles and a lot more fun.

Notes

Echo and I scored with a hike to Imp Face, this morning. Pretty views, grippy snow (though thin cover) and no wind. I was happy to stay in my snowshoes; whatever you choose right now know that the sketchy ice floes are not that far underneath the new snow. I love hiking in snow and am a little bummed that the season is ending!
