Started off on machine access road & started bushwhacking across from the condos. Crossed over two active ski trails & got stopped by ski patrol (only person skiing at that time of the morning) Told him we were headed to Sugarloaf & he said we were on Sugarloaf. Then I told him the summit & continued on thru the woods till we got to a dry trail & headed uphill on the steep Skidder Trail. The noise from the snow guns was deafening & created an exciting whiteout. Measured 30mph winds on summit of Sugarloaf. The hike to Spaulding was a cake walk. On our return trip we took the Binder Trail which sucked since it was riddled with golf ball size rocks the entire 3 1/2 miles. Like walking on ball bearings.
Nevertheless; a wonderful day out with my main squeeze. |
