Overall conditions pretty good. The trail isn't super packed and even with snowshoes the entire way we found ourselves sinking in from time to time. Saw one couple who were barebooting it and destroying the trail. Postholes maybe 3 feet deep at least. I'm surprised they made it as far as they did.
Probably not wise to try it without snowshoes unless there has been some significant hardening of the snow. Best to use them both for yourself and others. |
