 | Comments: |
Snowshoed the 10 mile "t" loop. All trails have a decent trough with a good base. The lower section is consolidated but still saw recessed boot prints and some postholing throughout the route. In general, the top layer is still soft and loose and will improve with snowshoe use. We had to reopen several sections of the trail between Field and Willey. Wind blown drifts of 1-2 feet. I would expect that these sections will continue to fill in. |
