Generally about 6-9" of powder from the storm a few days ago. With the exception of the first few tenths on the way out (with temperatures nearing freezing), nothing was packing down. Since this is 100% carriage roads, snowshoes were the way to go, since it's not bony (apart from a few stray rocks near the top). Others chose to cross country ski. One barebooter chose to trash the ski tracks. Looks like they had a heck of a time since it looked like walking in sand.
Cloudy afternoon with a few glimpses of sun and temperatures rising to near freezing. |
