 | Comments: |
When snow conditions are good, like they were today on Mt. Cube, solo trail breaking can be quite fun, even if it is strenuous. ;)
I broke out both of these trails and they looked like they hadn't seen any traffic in a while. Any previous snowshoe tracks were completely filled in. Tomorrow's storm is going to reset things so my efforts today will be undone.
There is a LOT of snow on the mountain right now and it's only going to get deeper. Snowshoes are an absolute must going forward. |
