Great day for the hike, even caught sun and blue sky on the summit. The road walk was great in the morning with a few snowshoers and a skier helped consolidate the 4 inches of new powder to a soft smooth track. On the return the track had been chewed up by a snowmobile that went up the length of the road mostly over the snowshoe/ski track.ðŸ™
Overall the track isn't too bad. The trail itself is in great shape we were in shoes all day and we saw 4 others all in shoes as well, trail is soft and well consolidated. Note: the side hill stretch between 2800 and 3000 requires effort and care to keep from sliding off the trail. Another great day on the trails with J 😠|
