Many thanks to those who broke out this trail yesterday!! Overnight the trails saw a new 2 inches of snow down low, with 4 inches of snow up high with larger drifts. We were first up today and took care of that. There were many skiers out today, so this route is now very well tracked, though parts could certainly drift a bit. Pretty cold and windy at the summit and descending into the wind so out came the face mask. Mountaineering mitts saved cold hands today too.
Great quick strike this AM with Greg YEAH! Hooray for more gridding! |
