Trail Conditions

Snow - Unpacked Powder

Equipment

Snowshoes

Notes

Return to winter. Soft snow on remaining stable monorail. Soft snow meaning snowshoe snow, spikes just rototill what snow shoes just packed. Avalon no ice showing all covered with snow even the steeps. Willey Range Tr. down to Tom same, limited snowshoes so far, still unconsolidated. Tom spur again all covered but soft. What view there was is now behind a wall of spruce, ....sad. A-Z seemed very soft, and freshly rototilled, but really no ice here either. Snow was a little sticky as the sun was starting to work on it in the hardwood sections. Monorail was good unless you stepped on the very edge

Notes

Really nice conditions for an afternoon hike. The lower mile plus is barebootable up to the first split. From there it was snowshoes all day. The trail is packed really well for snowshoes, but most will likely slip, slide and post hole in bare boots. Nice to meet LGD on the trail.

Parking

Plenty of road parking all day

Water Crossings

All bridged or pretty easily hopped across with a little planning
