| Comments: |
Microspikes and snowshoes were perfect. Trail surface has some frozen lumpiness to it but the new snow and snowshoes will hopefully smooth it out. Engine hill bushwhack was broken out nicely. Might be obscured in the open birch glades with new snow coming. Fast conditions. About 2-3 inches of fresh, very light-density snow fell. |
