About 3-5" of snow from yesterday's storm. A slight sleet-created crust on top of moist snow in the lower elevations, resulting in it adhering decently to any ice underneath. A few minor patches of mud from unfrozen seeps. More of a granular snow in the upper elevations, not adhering to the glaze of ice coating rocks and roots underneath. Light traction not a bad idea, but I was able to bareboot round trip without slipping too much. Another 6" of snow needed before snowshoeing is a realistic possibility on this trail. |
