 | Comments: |
Trail is ski packed with a good base, someone did bareboot and posthole the edges of the trail down low. I snowshoed and was with two who skinned up and skied down. We went just shy of the crossover trail with the Sherb, and trail is in good condition, full snow coverage with some drifts, and a handful of people out enjoying the conditions. We took the narrower footpath up and reconnected with the wider ski path, and took that for a while before turning around and heading down. Goal was the base of the slides but we got a late start and hit turnaround time.
Bluebird day with snow on the trees. Beautiful. |
