Trail is almost perfect for snowshoes. Solid, well-trodden base with very few postholes (though we’re a few fresh ones on the way down). But definitely still snowshoe conditions. Enjoy it while you can. Gonna be in the 40s with rain on Thursday…
Pretty cold and the wind was blowing so we didn’t stay long at the peak. The sky was one of the deepest blues I’ve ever seen. Pics will be up tonight sometime on Instagram @quantum.moxie |
