| Comments: |
Another great day weather wise. Snow ranged from a dusting to maybe 2". Wore spikes here and there and probably trashed them on Rollins and Wonalancet Range but it was on and off all day. Puffy leaves and snow made the rock gardens on Wonalancet a S#$T show and very slow going for humans, Tucker had no issue. |
