Note: Obviously, the time required to complete any mileage in the winter is enormously variable. Try to factor in changes in snow/ice conditions, elevation gains, trail-breaking exertion, group experience, etc., when planning your trip. Then add a healthy margin for the unexpected: equipment failure, illness, and other assorted wilderness challenges.
