Comments
Comments: The first half of the Old Speck trail was broken out except for 4 to 6 inches of powder. After initially giving up on breaking out the deep snow on the second half of the trail I ran into Buck and his humans. They were very experienced with Old Speck and we took turns breaking out the trail. When we left the trail was in good shape, expect some drifting as you approach the summit.
