The First Lady and I wore snowshoes door to door, which was the right choice following a few inches of fresh snow. Despite what appeared to be a clean forecast we got snowed on all morning actually. Passed a few other smiling snowshoers (hi Keith!) and had the trail in great shape on our way out, then after crossing over the snowmobile trail we bumped into a group of barebooters. It was pretty choppy from that point, not sure how far they made it up. |
