 | Comments: |
Trail is in very fine shape. When I left there was 2 inches of new snow down low with probably 4 up high. Some drifting across Signal Ridge and just before the summit. Last 100 feet was crunchy and quite slippery. No views but no wind. I went out the back of the parking lot along old road\herd path for the first mile or so. It did offer some variety but wasn't nearly as smooth sailing as snowmobile trail. Snowing very hard when I drove out. Didn't see anyone else today. |
