 | Comments: |
Ugh. These trails are absolutely destroyed. I’m not the posthole police, I don’t shame people and I don’t scream at people who bareboot, but sweet baby j the footing is miserable. I didn’t think my ankles could flex that many ways. To anyone who cares about snowshoeing and enjoying their day: stay away until there’s another snowstorm, it’s not worth it. |
