| Comments: |
trails were in great condition, rock spikes car to car today. a few hard ice spots could have used some points. left snow shoes at home - thnx BV for the intel - they were not needed.
no time to linger on FRT today, brisk and windy, looked blue on the way up, limited visibility going across with some nice openings to the Bonds, Twins, Garfield, Cannon, Kinsmans, and beyond, and then nice and blue in the car. Falling Waters Winter Wonderland Magic is starting to build. |
