 | Comments: |
Ski trails are mostly mowed (folks were out weedwhacking some of the steeps today) and fairly dry. A few mucky areas as one might expect. I would not recommend taking the hiking trail north of Barker (Lockes on the ski trail map), as there is construction on the ski area "Barker" summit.
A little bit chilly on the exposed ledges with the wind, but otherwise not too bad with temperatures in the 50s. Clouds stayed just west, making for a nice sunny morning. Foliage generally at or just past peak. |
