 | Comments: |
Trails where a mix of hard pack, rough broke, post holed drifts and everything in between. Just a really good day up high today. We barebooted all day because it made no sense to put snowshoes on for 20-50 feet and then take them off. Had a ton of fun running down washington snow slabs. Monticello Lawn is in good shape |
