 | Comments: |
Gravel access road that winds its way up the ski area (pick it up either at the maintenance building or the top of the beginner double chairlift) was dry and snow free. Still some patchy snow on the ski trails that will make it to June.
Sosman Trail has a few stretches of monorail and a few isolated patches of ice, but none are long lived. Patchy snow in the woods on the ridge. Probably more snow on the Mt. Tecumseh Trail, but opted to skip that for now. No need for Microspikes on the ridge.
Decent weather and views this morning prior to the forecasted rain. |
