 | Comments: |
Trails are still in great condition. Anywhere where you can butt slide has snow pushed off and ice underneath is exposed. Take your time going down Field toward Willey. Some serious ice in steeper sections. Monorail is about a human foot width in spots. Had fun breaking trail with Fuzz this morning between the Field and Willey. Normally not a fan of going down Avalon but it was fast today!
With the current conditions of the trail today and the forecasted snow for tomorrow, it will be prime conditions for snowshoes again. |
