 | Comments: |
Warm sun to start the morning and some passing clouds throughout the day. Trails were well packed with stable monorails the whole way. Some loose snow on top that was balling up under foot here and there. Only minimal ice. Saw all types of traction out there today. We used spikes all day and had no trouble, some were bare booting as well. On our return many of the snow bridges were getting pretty soft and we punched through a couple of them luckily not getting wet. I imagine they will be pretty well gone in the next couple days. |
