Thanks also to SilverFox and friends for breaking trail out. Emerel and myself were most likely last two down today and as Old Man reported trail should be in good shape tomorrow for all 6 had snowshoes today. We patched trail up on way down expecting a drop in temps tonight to harden up the nice track. Enjoy tomorrow and post and let us know how it was. Some fairly strong snow showers on our descent so may be some fresh snow but snow was wet enough so that any new drifting will be up top. Mother Nature treated us all kindly once again. |
