Description

The winter trail follows the same trail as the summer trail but you'll likely have to ski more of the dirt road road instead of starting at the summer trail-head. In my experience this is the easiest way up Huron. You can keep your skins on most of the way except that you might be better off just boot packing at the final ridge. You can also descend this route if the steeper coulier off the summit is not appealing
