 | Comments: |
2 or so fresh inches of snow down low with increasing amounts on the way up. Had to break/find the North Twin Trail for the last mile or two before North Twin summit. Trail was filled in with new snow and lots of drifting. Broke out North Twin Spur as well but that was easier to follow. Passed 9 others all in snowshoes on the return so trail is well packed again but some spots had filled back in from the wind. More trailing breaking than I thought there would be with all the drifts but a fun day out with the mountain mutt. |
