Carter Dome, S&M Carter via 19MB-CDT-Mt Hight-CMT-Imp S, Wildcat A&D via ridge
1.9.15
Early start on 19MB, packed highway as usual. FAST travel with micros. some icy places but easily navigable. CDT was in excellent shape, packed firm snow. Mt Hight had some icy parts where it was steeper and less signs of travel and more snow, some loose. Summit was icy but easy to move around. Carter Dome trail was the same as up Mt Hight. The CMT to M&S carter was packed out snow, but became filled in in a few places, still great easy travel. icy on the steep sections off the knobs. Imp S branch to Dodge Camp cutoff was all packed out and fast if you want to run.
Special equipment: micros very helpful but not essential. Snowshoes not needed. Poles helpful for those that like them.
After I met friends to ski tour up polecat. Finished the day on the ridge. More snow there than anywhere else today. Packed out with wind filled pockets. This made for fun fast travel especially on the steeps. Most ice was covered nicely. Back across the ridge and skiied down.
