Gin Morning Tour

Pretty great early morning tour. Starting in the dark have us a hard but not slippery skin track to follow up, and trail is broken all the way. Even going off ski penetration is not significant. On the down, without skiing hard at least, all pow, no crust down to the lake. Below the lake the trail is hardpack and a bit icy, but skiable, and the creeks are navigable. Forest snow off trail is soft but gets sticky quick, so turning hard can be tricky.
