 | Comments: |
Snowmobiles have road packed out nicely. Perhaps 3 inches of new snow last night. Current track uses first two reroutes but skips the third. Trail in nice shape until the switchbacks. Rather lumpy most of the way to Signal Ridge from postholers. New snow helped some, 12 people in snowshoes helped more. No views on the way across Signal Ridge but sun came out soon after I left the summit. Nice views on return with wind picking up. It was nice to see so many friendly and familiar faces out there today. |
