frigid predictions made this the perfect choice today. 7 degrees in the lot...a little breezey on summit but not bad.
microspikes handled all the ice we saw down below and we left them on back to the car..
snow depths increased gradually with elevation... above 3000 feet several inches of fresh light fluffy powder, the trees all coated, a real winter wonderland..gorgeous. the snow is starting to pile up a bit and if we had carried snowshoes we would have put them on tho the light snow made for no real issues..track well booted out now. easy descent on fun and fast track..good day out with tim and cynthia |
