 | Comments: |
This was Winter #47 & #48 for me, upper 20's for Mad Dog & The Great Pumpkin was riding shotgun on this one as he completed his winter last year. Snowfields are firm & holding up well but be careful where the krumholtz is poking thru as it is soft. It was a great day to be out & an even better day to end the winter '09-'10 season with a winter completion. |
