| Comments: |
Trails solid well packed somewhat Icey in spots. Left snow shoes in car based on last reports, used micro spikes all the way to Flume with no issues at all. Switched to Hillsound trail spikes for more grip heading down. Trail softened below 2000 feet but no issues. Windy cold on both, only stayed a short time on both. Great views today! Tonight’s rain/ice & warmer temps may change these conditions for tomorrow. Falling temps & winds should set these trails back up perfectly after tomorrow! |
