A great day for Madison today. All trails are in good shape and solid under foot. I carried my snow shoes but wished I had left them in the car to save the weight. Osgood to the summit of Madison in wind blown but has some snow on it and is easy to navigate. Not too many sections to step into a deep drift. All in all, an enjoyable day on the trails. Winds were just a bit to high to make it to Adam's. |
