 A big day on Princeton   

Full text and photos here: https://throughpolarizedeyes.com/2019/04/08/mt-princeton-ski-descent-2019-04-06/

Had a big, great day out on Princeton this past weekend. 9.5 miles, 5,800', 8 hours. The road's still snowed in about half a mile up from the TH but melting quickly. Days like this are why I keep coming back.

Great write up Mike!

I didn't think about it until you brought it up, but this trip was one of the few times I didn't whine to myself about having to wake up or hated the predawn bushwhacking. The stoke was high from wake up until back to the car driving home. Thanks for the invite.

The only way to be sure you won't need ski crampons is to put them in your pack ... Princeton is such an underrated ski. Also, what benners said ^
