 | Comments: |
Bare wet trail with a slight rain to start. Snow started to accumulate about 1 mile in. Ledges before and after Mt. Surprise were grippy despite being wet (speedgoats for the win). About 3" of new snow up top, wet but not super slick, never thought about putting on traction. A lot of slushy standing water on the trail. The snow is wet and will disappear quickly with warmer temps coming. |
