KNEE DEEP IN SCHNEEDORF

Once again my yearly post at Christmas on the conditions at the hike to free snow haven of Schneedorf in the So Wa Cascades. All the bowls and steeps are covered, just like last year only one week later in the time differential. Snow is settling in nicely with 4 to 6 inch slab sloughs on the steeps and over the knees powder on the shots that aren't self sliding. The dry snow is sphinctering at the rock level slowly, but surely with the slight rise in the single digit temps. Merry Christmas.
