23 degrees and snowing!! 85 percent humidity.  barely any wind.  14 miles. Pine Hollow- up 0.2 miles and down to fork, up to tibble to second bathroom and down to maceys.  14 exactly.  30 min exactly of stops.  Kim, Chandi, Jane, Bekah and me.  Bekah let me use her crampons since she had trail shoes.  Jane and Kim also had trail.  Chandi braved her endorphins!
