Hiked in late morning on Thursday in soft snow that was clumping to my snowshoes. Barebooting would have chopped it up too much that late in the day. I camped out and headed up this morning. Snow had firmed up and stayed that way for the most part. I wore snowshoes all day today besides the road walk. Another guy out there today wore snowshoes the whole way so we left a nice flat track adding to the work others hard done last weekend. It's quite a lovely snowshoe track at the moment. Expect this to change with coming snow this weekend |
