 | Comments: |
Parked at the end of Little River Road and hooked onto the herd path just over the bridge on the left. It's a little muddy under the snow in spots and is fine for bare booting or light traction, same goes for the North Twin Trail until I left it. Fire Wardens Trail had more snow on it, it wasn't broken out but there is a visible track to follow until the next storm. Needs a about a foot more of snow for the glades to be skiable. I micro-spiked it up and down but could have really used my snowshoes heading up Fire Wardens, which of course I left in the car. The trail might be choppy in spots because of this but I tried to beat it down as best as possible.
