    Thanks for organizing the trip, Andy. I had a blast. Maybe next year we'll have to go back to do the full loop.

    And thanks for getting there a day early to break the trail for us!

    Thanks for your comments! It was a great time, with better conditions we might have made the entire loop.

    Thanks again for your comments UL dudes.


    @David
    , I hear you, xc skiing is a better way to explore much farther into the backcountry. We saw a couple of skiers on their way up to Echo Lake and I'm sure they didn't appreciate our snowshoe tracks! I got a late start with downhill skiing so the transition to splitboarding might be the next step for me. Next winter. . .

    The learning curve of skiing is a harsh one, no way around it. Whenever I have too many decent days out in a row, I get nervous because I know I'm in for a thrashing soon.
