| At 10 degrees, the morning snow was particularly
squeaky underfoot as Sohier Hall and George Clarke joined guide
Katharine Bill and friend Flash to head up Delancy Ridge. After
sharing a thermos of hot chocolate to take the edge off the
cold, a 40 minute skin uphill brought us into the sunshine.
It was a bluebird day, with winds blowing big plumes of snow
off of the higher ridges in the morning, but totally calm winds
in the afternoon. Untracked powder for 3,500' rewarded the work
of the climb, and smiles were easy to find all around. |
