 | Comments: |
We took an intro to winter class up Avalon this afternoon for Redline. Trees are frosted so if it’s sunny/warm tomorrow prepared to be “rained” on once it warms up. Spikes were fine, trail is a little icy in spots. Main reason for writing the report is the parking issue, be careful with the spots in front of the picnic tables. |
