Beautiful weather on Wednesday for Carrigain summit out/back. Barebooted up the road, which is relatively hardpack/stable due to snowmobile traffic. From Signal Ridge Trailhead proper, I wore snowshoes out/back to the summit. Track is in excellent conditions, mostly hardpack but softening in the day, but no postholes ... hope it stays that way! (Hint: wear snowshoes!) Only saw two other people the whole day, super day in the White. |
