 | Comments: |
Trails free of snow until 2000' plus then some ice until ~2500' when the trails had snow. The snow was firm in teh mornoing and getting soft my mid day on my way down. spikes were all I used once I encountered ice and snow. temps over night and this morning kept the snow firm enough that snowshoes were not needed. If it stays below freezing at night the trails should be great this weekend [it's not supposed to, so bring snowshoes!]. |
