 | Comments: |
very warm wet conditions are rapidly melting existing snow cover. With the rain on Sunday, expect these trails to be extremely icy - steep sections will likely need crampons until the next snow. Warm conditions also increase postholing - snowshoes were great help in the mashed potato mix. |
