| no partners | | As a recent resident of Flag, I hiked the Humphries Summit trail in the spring, summer and autumn. I've been wanting to do the winter summit for some time now, and MLK day was projected to be excellent weather. My sister and I were on our way back from Utah and we were able to begin the snowshoe ascent around 9 a.m. The Agassiz and the ridge-line were clearly visible when we left the Snowbowl parking lot. After 2.5 miles, it became clear that the dense fog (cloud) that covered us above 10,800ft was here to stay. It began snowing at 10900ft. The fresh layer of snow that fell overnight began sliding out from underneath my feet at 11,400. We decided to turn around above 11,600ft. It was a tough call, but we knew would not be able to see a thing from the ridgeline, let alone the summit, if we continued. Plus the sliding surface snow was freaking me out a bit. Another time!
Thanks to Jim for the route for this one.  |
