 | Comments: |
Trail took a beating during the warmup. A trace to 2 inches of snow fell last night, keeping the underlying snowpack soft. Virtually full snow cover. I barebooted, but if I were to go again tomorrow, I'd take snowshoes to try to smooth things out or bypass some of the carnage. Maybe barebootable or Microspikable this weekend after the usual boot traffic over the next couple of days.
Partly cloudy afternoon/evening with temperatures around freezing. |
