 | Comments: |
The road has just a bit of snow and ice on it. When it turns to snowmobile trail there is even less. The walk of from the summer lot thru the recent reroute is almost bare except for some ice in the trail. After that it was spring snow at the bottom and frozen granular up top. We all wore snow shoes but there were a few people in microspikes. Trail is clear and in very good shape to the summit. |
