Don't I wish. That was on the plan but got lazy about carrying snowshoes (we didn't)
and with Winter Solstice we decided to only do one night.
So... you're off a bit. It's just east of the Snow Creek trail and west of Snow Creek itself.

Yup. Some guy (didn't expect to see anyone all weekend) said there's 126.Quote

Yeh, I was wondering about that. The angles did look a little odd for Basket Dome. Did you go up the Snow Creek switchback from Mirror Lake?

I knew better. Just got lazy. This time of year unless it's very early in the morning you shouldQuote

Was the snow packed enough for easy travel, or did you need to use MiniSpikes? (I am preparing my Winter Arsenal: Fluffier Down Jacket (the pink jacket is leaking like a siv), MiniSpikes, and if the holiday gods send enough bonuses -- puffy pants)

Feathered Friends -- I looked at their website; they have some AWEsome choice Puffies (perhapas a custome vest for Chick-on??)
What did the humanoids wear as layers during the day? Fleece and shell? Hiking pants with thermals? (as they are in sorry shape without the natural pink fur that said Chick-on has)
Did the new down jacket go along for the trip (Does the Goat Whisperer have a new puffy, too?)

If you have thermals on under your hiking pants you invariably end up either removingQuote

For me I'm very very close to leaving the fleece
top at home for good now and taking the down jackey. It's just so nice and compact.
