Comments
Comments: It was an amazing day. In the am it was cloudy, cool and the trail was firm. After passing over Lincoln, the sun came out and it started warning up and softening the snow which there was plenty of.

I would say the trails are 90% covered with snow and ice from the parking lot to the ridge.

NOTE: I would wear micro spikes from the get go. Perfect terrain today for them.
