| Comments: |
Damp day on the Cats with some rain. No snow to walk through on the ski trails, but still some along the sides of some trails. Between A and D there was ice, snow, crumbling monorail and lots of post holes which made for slow going. Since there were also stretches of bare ground spikes went on and off a few times and sometimes we just went slow and barebooted the snow. Met some nice folks as usual and had a good time. |
