Write Up:
Nine GMS-ers broke trail in deep new snow: 14" at Highway 2 and over 2 ft. at higher elevation. A great group dynamic saw everyone taking a turn at breaking trail, allowing the group to ascend 2200 ft to the first false summit on the SW ridge of Elk. With a break in the clouds allowing a few photos, we made our descent from there via the now well-cut snowshoe track.
