 | Comments: |
Upper section of Glen Boulder (in the trees, above the boulder) was all frozen postholes. Snowshoes probably won't be able to fix it until the next snow, but lots of ankle-breaking potential. Overall not much ice, just wore light traction all day with no issues. No unpacked snow to speak of. Small sections of wet trail and water running. Overall manageable conditions despite so little snow. |
