 | Comments: |
Winter has started. Trail was covered in fresh powder for us, and due to the sudden cold snap the trail was wet going up the first mile, but on the return trip it was really starting to crust over. Ice in some spots but the snow provided plenty of traction, bare booted the whole way. The wind and the air temp were unforgiving today, really glad we choose Waumbek as 99% of the trail has tree cover. |
