A great day on one of our favorite mountains. No snowshoes needed. I saw a couple people attempting the trail without traction. Not recommended right now due to the ice on the lower portion of the Sherburne Pass Trail. Some pretty decent icy spots. Pico Link Trail is in pretty good shape. Well packed with just a couple small icy spots. Trail is fast because of the well-packed snow. |
