|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail is in very good shape. Started out with a crusty base under about an inch of new snow at the parking area. Depth increased to 2-3" just below 3000' and then to about 6-8" from about .5 miles below Starr King. Must have been very windy up there last night, lost of small drifts at the higher elevations. Broke new trail from Starr King to Waumbek. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw alot of our four legged friends today and not a complaint from any of them. Good footing for them and cold enough so the snow didn't seem to ball up on their feet. |
