 | Comments: |
Snowshoes went for a ride, although warming conditions could make them handy in coming days. There is still a lot of snow on the Wildcats. On this day, we barebooted partway up the ski slope before switching to micros the rest of the way on our OAB from the ski area. Solid monorail in the woods was softening slightly as the temp warmed. There are sections of glare ice on the ups/downs between peaks that can make for slow going. |
