 | Comments: |
Roughed out the weather and was able to hit east osceola for #35. There was 4-5in down low on greenly ponds and by start of mt osceola trail and up above on mt osceola trail was significant snow, at least a foot if not more. We wore snowshoes from car and back but our tracks were being filled in by the snow falling. With this rain coming expect icy conditions...trail has been worked to east osceola. A few ventured onto mt osceola as well but trail was not broken out that way, saw 2 snowshoers headed that way after we turn around. Also saw two snowshoers headed to greenly pond, which had not been broken out as well. By the way, some great butt sledding down mt osceola trail. |
