Comments
I snowshoed to Reynolds Peak and found punishing winds averaging 25 with gusts into the 50's for sure. There was intermittent snow falling sometimes heavily.
There was a light to moderate amount of ski tracks on Reynolds proper. Some of the routes chosen looked to be a bit bold. However, I saw no cracking or any collapsing during my entire day starting at Mill D North.
Snow conditions ranged from sun crusted to nice powder in the pines and northerly facing slopes.
