We encountered a lot of clouds and some rain on this trip. Kathleen and I didn't get down due to the weather though. After spending on night in the rain, we headed out to try our luck at the summit. About three-quarters of the way up we were entering some thick clouds and decided it would be more fun to spend the day sledding down lower where we could see. We found some steep slopes and had a blast.
