 | Comments: |
Lower trail had good sections of ice flows that required careful foot placement if wearing MicroSpikes. Once trail enters the spruce trees the snow was relatively solid. Trail between Liberty and Flume was broken. Spikes were fine all day. With the weather maker forecasted for tonight, we'll see if higher elevations get all snow versus rain/freezing rain in the valleys. |
