Had to hold up at the Fontana Lodge for two days as snow piled up in the mountains. We received word from the park service that 10 people had to be rescued from the mountain due to lack of supplies. We started the day with great weather as we crossed the Fontana Dam. About 6 miles up the trail we started to encounter the heavy snow. The warm weather started to melt everything and going got pretty slow. By the end of the day we had been walking through up to two feet of snow in some places with lots of slush. One highlight of the day was the view from the Shuckstack fire tower.
By the end of the day my shoes and feet were soaked, but all in all it was a good day. Did 15 miles.
