What I liked: I love the scenery and I love the challenge. This trail offers something for all skill levels from beginner to expert.
What I disliked: There isn't much to dislike about Tower Ridge. Most of my bad ski days came from lack of snow and they can't be blamed for that.
Comments: I like the fact that Tower Ridge also offers snowshoeing. It gives me a chance to still get a great workout by doing something a different.
