 | Comments: |
Trails packed down by others (snowshoers) before us (thank you!) but now covered with 2-4" of fresh-powder from the most recent storm.
We used snow-shoes door-to-door. The lower pats of the trail is a bit boney here and there. Barebooting/spikes would have been just fine there - but we felt it was just easier to continue with what we had on our feet. |
