 | Comments: |
The type of person who bareboots or Microspikes in these conditions is probably the type of person who pees on a public toilet seat, leaving a mess for everyone else who follows.
Despite the heavy rain this morning, a couple of inches of last night's new snow remains, as well as the snow from Sunday's storm. Up to about a foot of snowpack right now, which could be good for base building.
Snow was a soft spring snow with deep slush at the waterbars/seeps. Snowshoes (or skis) were the way to go, but unfortunately a pair of barebooters postholed to North Peak and left a slushy postholed mess that may set up into an ankle-twisting mess tonight. I smoothed out what I could, but a few sections were really bad. |
