Dion snowshoes from the start to the finish. Some fresh powder on the lower stretches of trail, but the trench was built earlier in the week. Different story along the ridge and higher up. Snowshoes made it a lot easier to push through the snow drifts. Once around the loop and back to the lower elevations the trail was well broken out. Still soft, but it got some traffic in the snowshoe department. Should be in great shape by end of day. |
