| Comments: |
Full snowpack remains, generally a foot or so deep. Trails are solidly bootpacked, albeit with some postholes along the sides from the warmer weather. In addition, a parasitic postholer decided to posthole up the revegetation area (classy!). Trail should stay fairly firm until either the weather warms up or else we get more snow. Snowshoes or spikes needed for the South Peak Spur, as it's firm and slippery.
Partly sunny afternoon with temperatures in the 30s. Apart from a few flakes that did not accumulate, the snow storm missed this area completely. |
