In reply to DoverPiker:
Will,
Small world!! I did see quite a few teams coming in as I was climbing, wondered where folk ended up. Yeah, was first in today as I stayed in the van at the Sugarbowl car park last night, so did a fair bit of trail breaking!
Glad you had a good day, was slightly envious I started so early as things really looked like they cleared up once I was back at van, but I guess the pay off was getting things a bit more frozen; I was surprised how much snow went during the day and how slushy the path was on the way back.
Enjoy the rest of your trip, hope you get the weather you managed back in November (but somehow doubt you'll be so lucky again!!)
Cheers,
Gordon
