Isis did great. She post holed and struggled but stuck it out. She was not thrilled at the run out due to the thunderstorm and she was also not crazy about the rain but I caught her smiling on the way home. |

 | Comments: |
At first i thought that we would not have any rain today. Guess I was wrong for that. We had nice thunder storm to chase us out. Trails are good.... Soft so bring snowshoes. You'll thank yourself for it. It was beautiful on the ridge today to. Spring conditions in full effect. |
