 | Comments: |
A dusting to a couple inches of snow for the first few miles - quite a bit of ice on the flats too (some exposed, some just under the snow). More snow (3-5") and better trail conditions as you climb. Summit slabs coated in thin layer of ice. Saw a few folks out on the trail today. Nice day out. |
