Write Up:
A group of 10 mixed with Over the Hill Gang members and GMS started up the East Route with cold, sketchy weather prevailing. The weather consistently improved all the way to the summit with great views of Glacier Park and the Flathead Valley. With close to 6 inches of fresh snow at the top, we returned down Big Ravine and over to the Christ statue. The annual scavenger hunt below the lift lines failed to yield many items with all the fresh snow.
