Cold and Snowy!!
Currently we're sitting around -9°.
Snowfall, I think it varies in each particular area but guessing we've received 20"+ over the past 3 day's..
As with any significant storm we receive it will take a few passes to get everything back in shape but the trail's hit tonight turned out good!
Trail's covered tonight 13n, 1n, 8w and 8e.
8w to Wakefield is in good shape now and no more water holes, a little narrow in spots but đź’Ż passable. Video is of 1n to White Pine. Thanks everyone.
