 | Comments: |
Spring conditions were evident today. Despite the cooler temps, the higher sun angle is softening the snow, resulting in more postholing. Snowshoes from just past Middle Carter back to the parking lot helped stabilize a bit, but more and more people aren't using snowshoes. Postholing will make snowshoes pretty well useless over the next week or so. |
