 | Comments: |
Started early, snow was still packed from last nights temp. Stable monorail in the morning. Got warm quickly made it to about 3.1 miles in to the final look out before the grafton trail junction before turning around because of dehydration. Way back snow pack softened after the warmth. Post holing was prevalent anywhere from 1.5 to 4 feet of snow. Not sure what it will be like after today. Wished I had snowshoes for the day. |
