Trails today were in decent condition, they are for the most part tracked out. Lots of sticky spring snow and balling up under my snowshoes on my way up North. Nice ridge walk, I noticed that the monorail is narrow and there were several snowshoes size step-off's. The skiing in snowshoes down South was awesome, I made it to the junction in less than 15 minutes. Nice to meet Hike4life and Matt. Heavy rain tonight could change everything. |
