 | Comments: |
Trails were firm to start the day but as the snow fell they became covered. A little ice here and there but mostly covered by snow. A few post holes but overall not too bad. There is a luge track forming coming down from East by the butt sledders. The new snow today should fill it in. Wind was blowing strong on the ridge and on the summits so we didn't linger long. The chimney has some good ice floes in it. The bypass appears to be seeing some use but most are using the herd path around the bypass, that's what we did today. On our return across the ridge the snow and drifting had covered our tracks. Good time to get out there in the next couple days before it becomes icy again. We had a great day celebrating Kim's B-Day |
