 | Comments: |
Mt. Roberts Trail is tracked to the summit, somewhat choppy from Saturday's barebooters but with no post hole damage. High Ridge and Faraway are unbroken except for my single snowshoe track. The same is true for Cold Spring except for the track set by two skiers today. Cold Spring Road is plowed. The snow is reasonably deep but crusty and not strong enough for flotation with snowshoes. |
