 | Comments: |
Great morning to be out. Some wearing snowshoes, most wearing hillsounds or other traction. An inch or two of new snow this morning below tree line, no ice below tree line. Trail is fast and smooth. First section near tree line was drifting heavily. Trail above tree line to summit is mostly ice and small drifts. Fat bike tire tracks in the ice near summit from last time it was warm enough to make an impression. Gave me something to think about other than the wind this morning for a few minutes! |
