The trail is in near perfect condition other than a few frozen postholes. Solid, hard packed and wicked fast. There was a small amount of drifting up high but nothing that required snowshoes. The upcoming storm Thursday to Friday will change the conditions and warrant snowshoes but there is a great base now so things should shaped up nicely. |
