Comments
1. Right now the snow conditions are holding up ok around the trailhead, but too many days like today with very mild temperatures and we will see more dirt and pavement. Our groomer was out today and mentioned the trails were getting a little soft.
2. There might have been a small weather something that sneaked in yesterday evening and put down a half inch of snow.
1. The winds from a northerly direction the last few days have worked and stripped some slopes exposing some of the bigger rocks in this area.
2. There is still lots of weak surface snow that has no cohesion and sluffs easily in steeper terrain.
