 | Comments: |
The Jewell Tr was well packed thanks to yesterday's group of snowshoe'rs Gulfside through Sphinx Col was pockmarked by the barebooter crowd. From Adams on to Maddison light traction could be worn due to the had packed, wind blown snow. Upper Valley Way was soft and is ok until the snow freezes and then will be very rough. Lower Valley Way is very hard. It was a great Presi day with Old Man and Bruce. |
