 | Comments: |
Snowfall the previous night left about an inch in the lot and about 4-5 inches up higher. Temps were in the 20's then to 30's as we finished. by the time we got back to the cars, some of the lower section had melted. parts of the trail were wet. Water crossing were ok. higher we were breaking trail, 4-5 inches plus drifting. ice and ice flows under the fluffy snow created a few slip and slides. traction advised. |
