 | Comments: |
Sawyer Road is about 25% bare. The rest is ice/snow-crust which is getting soft/slushy in the afternoon. I barebooted this section fairly easily.
The monorail is forming quite nicely on the Signal Ridge trail and it is stable for now. Minimal coverage at the beginning increasing to at least 2 ft. at the ridge. Some sections are hard others quite soft. I used snowshoes both up and down.
A dusting of fresh snow above 4,000 ft. |
