Redington summit's -15 windchill today was a bit much but the sky was clear and when the wind wasn't blowing, the sun was warm. I was able to take my snowshoes for a ride, wearing spikes door to door, only postholing a handful of times (all on the bushwhack up to the summit when I wandered off the packed but wind-blown trail). It was a quick 16 miles in 6.5 hours, and I was happily bored on the fast packed snowmobile trails! |
