 | Comments: |
First portion of Mt. Tecumseh Trail was generally snow free and dry with a dusting of snow and the occasional small ice patch here and there.
Approaching the upper water crossing, ice monorail started to pop up. Was able to bareboot this section with care.
Consistent monorail started above the ski trail herd paths and continued most of the way to the summit. Was able to bareboot up with care, but put on light traction for the descent. Very little snow remaining in the woods. I don't think snowshoes will be of any use up here unless we get a sizable snowstorm.
Sosman Trail had off and on monorail - light traction useful.
Main portion of ski area closed for the season. Light traction useful in the upper elevations of the slopes, as snow had set up. Softer spring snow in the lower elevations. |
