Roughly 6 inches of wet, heavy, sticky snow. A slog. One guy with a long stride doesn't make much of a track. After a couple more snowshoe over it and it freezes it will be ready for the bare booters. Curious, the breaking got easier the higher I went - less snow - and I don't know why. Maybe the snow is frozen? There is an annoying crust that keeps snagging your poles. |
