 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
North Twin Trail between South and North Twin was a tight squeeze; one of my sleeves got snagged on a tree and tore a hole. |

 | Comments: |
Very smooth trail for a majority of the day, all very stable packed trail, except for the 2mi section between Garfield and the Gale River Trail intersection. One person barebooted through that section during the last warm spell, causing continuous calf- to hip- deep postholes. Some have been covered by loose powder, making them invisible. |
