| Comments: |
The trail is in great condition: no postholes, no ice and the 1-2 inches of snow was easily packed down with snowshoes. The blazes are visible and where they are not - there are bright orange handwritten arrows pointing out key turns. It was windblown on the ridge, but even there the trail is easy to follow exiting on Vista Way. There is a little hike up the ski trail before turning away from the lifts/warming buildings towards the summit. It was perfect weather to do this hike - only windy in the parking lot and on parts of the ridge/summit. A great day! |
