 | Comments: |
Bare booter made the trail awful. Hard crust on top, powder underneath. Did my best to break it out better but it was an ankle turning mess. Even grabbed displaced chuncks of the crust and stuffed them into the deeper postholes to try and fill them up. Three hours for 2.5 miles. Quit at the Mt Parker Tr intersection. On the way down I saw a crew heading up with snowshoes on, they really helped break out the trail. Wish they had come earlier, ha! |
