 | Comments: |
In the morning the trail was snow covered from bottom to top. By the afternoon, the lower section was slightly muddy/slushy, but not bad. Light traction was perfect.
Above the Mizpah Cutoff the monorail is stable, but care is needed to avoid side postholes that were camoflauged by recent snowfall. There's a section just before the summit with heavy drifting, but todays traffic provided sufficient pack-down to easily traverse. The summit had thin ice/snow cover, but again fine with micospikes. |
