Trails Used

Lakeview Trail, Quarry Trail

Trail Conditions

Wet TrailMud - Minor/AvoidableMud - Significant

Notes

Trails were wet with patchy snow and ice. Some muddy areas along with a few puddles in the flats. I was able to bare boot without issue. Only one stretch of continuous snow/ice on the Lakeview Trail above the stone chair viewpoint to the summit. Quarry Trail is mostly snow free except for a short stretch just above the pond. Unless we get another snow event, the remaining snow will be gone soon. Cloudy evening with temps in the lower 50s.

Parking

Lot was about half full this evening

Slushy, snow covered trails this evening with a few bare patches. Some hidden ice especially on the Lakeview Trail. I wore spikes but were probably not necessary if using caution. Still full ice coverage on Winni. Nuce views this evening.

Lakeview Trail, Quarry Trail

Trail Conditions

Snow - Trace/Minimal DepthIce - BlueMud - Minor/Avoidable

Equipment

Microspikes

Notes

Was able to bareboot the loop, as the two snow/sleet events bonded to the underlying patchy ice well. Light traction may be a good idea as that snow melts to reveal the residual ice. Some extended stretches didn't appear to have any underlying ice. Sunny afternoon with temperatures in the 40s.

Parking

Lot was close to full late this afternoon.

Trails Used

Quarry Trail, Lakeview Trail

Trail Conditions

Snow - Trace/Minimal DepthIce - BlueMud - Minor/Avoidable

Equipment

Microspikes

Notes

About 1-2 inches if new snow this morning. Snow was sticky and balling on my spikes making for slippery footing on the hidden ice below. Luckily there wasn't too much ice but coming down the Lakeview Trail was slower than usual. Views were nonexistent today due to weather. No other footprints out there.

Parking

Lot not plowed from recent snow
