Went up yesterday late morning. I was surprised how firm things were even with temps in the mid 40s. Sunny areas certainly softer but still firm. The road walk is mostly hard packed snow and ice. I saw a couple gravel patches on my way out today that weren't there yesterday. Signal ridge trail is hard packed with occasional stretches of post holes. Past the water crossings post holes become far less prevalent. I was able to bareboot and spike the whole way. Snowshoes went for a ride. If you need Carrigain this month get it early in the next couple days after things freeze over. Great overnight trip to cap off my SSW48! |
