  Very early trip - still a meter of snow in the alpine fir before the pass - pass was clear. Hammock was warm and nice even
with taking only th -3 back, although it hit about -5 on our camp night in the pass. 20 km day in the middle with a kilometer of
snowshoeing really kicked my butt but it was wonderful. Snowshoes are heavy. There's just no way around that. Wouldn't want
the kind that are super light for this because I love the agressive tread on the MSR ones for going up and down. 

  Saw two grizzlies in the pass (Mom and Cub) and we gave each other a wide berth.
