Comments
Comments: I’ve never written a trail report. Sorry. But I found a charm(?). That’s why I filled out this trail report. It doesn’t appear valuable, but it may be of sentimental value to someone. Send me an email and I’ll mail it to you.

Monorail and ice down low was collapsing. Up high it was fine. I went up north first and got somewhat wet (car wash) coming down. The south slide required a lot of tree grabbing.
