| Comments: |
Trails were in fine shape. Some postholing anyplace someone took snowshoes or skis off. A snowshoer from a day or two prior had punched through the top of trail quite a few times and left enormous postholes, looked like a hard day they had, and thanks for your efforts. The snow depth is around 4 feet +/- 2 inches, and not a firm top, so barebooters be warned. Lots of ski activity so it is hard at times to be on the most travelled path. Left the top late in the afternoon and tracks were drifting in behind me, lots of wind. |
