| Comments: |
A couple inches of soft snow were mostly slush and water by the time I descended. Very spring-like conditions. Snow is deeper across the ridge and I tried to even things out with snowshoes where there were postholes before this storm. Still some spots that aren't friendly to your ankles. Other than that, the sunshine was plentiful and it was a great day to be out! |
