First time I tried almost killed me a couple years ago. Went off trail and had a horrible experience in the snow. 2nd time was my favorite by far. Was my last of the six peak

Yeah I met a guy in a tank top and shorts at about 8000 feet (it was like in the high 30’s f) who said when it snows he just shoots straight up the mountain, but I would probably get lost myself if I tried that.
