Comments
Comments: Looks like we picked up about 2-4" from the bomb cyclone storm of the century.

Trail looked to have been tracked out by cross country skiers (it is part of a nordic loop), but unfortunately some parasitic postholers destroyed their track, leaving divots and postholes in their wake. I cleaned up what I could with my snowshoes, but it's still not great. If you want to wear Microspikes, Old Bridle Path at West Rattlesnake is calling your name!

-5F start just before sunrise, but no wind.
