Mt. Flume via The Osseo Trail

Date:  2/3/2012
Route:  Mt. Flume, via The Osseo Trail
Group:  Dogman, Trudy, Spanky & Me
Conditions:  Fresh fallen snow over packed trail.
Gear:  Snowshoes were necessary but we packed the trail down pretty tight on the up-and-down so it should be workable with crampons.  There are a lot of soft spots though, especially on the ladders so snowshoes are recommended high up.  Postholing w/out snowshoes is likely.  Once out on the cliffs, watch for spruce traps.  We headed into the trees to go around the spot where the trail crosses over the top of a slide.  It's a clean chute now.
