Comments
Comments: Some mud and melt down low, giving way to a icy monorail, giving way to a hard packed trail this morning. Significant snow depth still on the ridge. Warm afternoon temps turned the top couple of inches into soft spring slushy snow. A few post holes along the way, but all in all, the trail is in good shape.

We used a combination of light traction and snowshoes off and on.

Blue bird day... and a fun day out with Mike, Dean, Adrian, Sam and John.
