 | Comments: |
On the ski trails, the snow line generally ended up around 3,300 feet by this evening, though basically a dusting. One large drift behind the top of the High Country lift. Green Peak was very muddy walking due to the frost/refreeze cycle and recent precip.
Mt. Tecumseh Trail had mud, black ice, and a dusting of snow above 3,000 feet. Sosman Trail was generally a dusting of snow and black ice. By evening, most rock surfaces above 3,000 feet were glazed in ice. I barebooted over to and down the ski trails, but was considering taking the spikes out of my pack had I descended the hiking trail. Ground's generally not frozen below 3,500 feet, so things could in theory thaw out.
Good to see a few familiar faces grabbing a quick 4K today. |
