| Comments: |
19 MB has mud in all the usual spots. Wet leaves & rocks made for some slippery spots. No ice to speak of down low. Fairly quick to the start of the climb to A. Ice starts around 3600, we had spikes but never really needed them. Going down I would've put them on. Great views on A with a slight breeze. Lots of spotty ice all the way to D, again never needed spikes but this will quickly change. Prezis all have snow on top! Great views from here. Warm sun but windy & cool at ski area. Quick trip down Polecat, some wet spots but no ice. |
