	Trails:	Snow's Mountain Trail

	Date of Hike:	Thursday, April 25, 2019

	Parking/Access Road Notes:	Parked near the ski jump and it is a very large lot. This loop should be done clockwise. You end in a residential area and have a 1/2 mile-ish hike back to the lot.

	Surface Conditions:	Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Snow - Wet/Sticky, Snow/Ice - Monorail (Unstable), Snow - Spring Snow, Snow/Ice - Postholes

	Recommended Equipment:

	Water Crossing Notes:	One near the end and very easily stepped over

	Trail Maintenance Notes:	The north leg of the Snow's Mountain trail could use a little TLC as far as debris, nothing really too sizable. HOWEVER, this trail could use some serious re-blazing for the uphill. The trail is hard to follow, with increasing difficulty on the ascent, however when looking back down, there is much better blazing. The south Leg and Outlook Spur were much better. Although, I do not recall how the south leg's blazing was going up, but downhill the blazing was excellent.

	Dog-Related Notes:

	Bugs:

	Lost and Found:


	Comments:	On the north leg of the Snow's Mountain Trail, there is increasing snow coverage about 1/2 way up and is as deep as 1 1/2 to 3 feet. On the south leg there were a couple of patches as well, but not nearly as much.
