Comments
Comments: Mostly grey and overcast, but beautiful new white snow from last night brightening the day. About 2" new light snow on a packed trail to start, 4-6" above the lake to the lookout, where the trail was less consolidated. We and several others we passed did bare boots and microspikes; did see one fellow with snowshoes, although width of trail in snow seemed a little narrow for SS's.
All will change with rain this week.
First time there for one with us creaky veterans.
