| Comments: |
Connector and Crawford Path to Pierce had a stable monorail with post-holing to either side in the softer snow. Crawford Path to Ike had heavy post-holing throughout. A dusting of new snow and some minor drifts. Wore snowshoes all day and had a couple ankle turners with the amount of postholes and fresh snow covering, but nothing too serious. Be careful with more snowfall. The Eisenhower loop was icy and the ladders were exposed due to recent melt. Cold and windy, just the way I like it |
