First tracks in the Alpenglow

It looks like our snowstorm Saturday night was enough to draw hikers to the top for the first time this year. 18 inches of fresh powder is a pretty good incentive and I commend those that made the pilgrimage for the rest of us to look up at. It isn't clear on the small version of the picture but the tracks just to the right of the middle on Storm Peak South were clearly visible in the evening alpenglow after the clouds broke on Monday.

This is a little over a month later than last year, which was early, but this year has been much snowier overall all with something like 9 storms in the past 2 1/2 weeks. Back to the Steamboat Springs blog main page for more.
