xc-racer5 (younger brother) birthday hike/trudge up Mount Ida in about 3 inches of snow at the bottom, to about 16 at the top. Run/slide back down. Unfortunately, the top of the mountain was up into cloud and just flurrying a little bit, so no view.

GPS battery died on the way down, lots of power left, the older device just struggles at medium power in the cold now. When fully charged it does fine.

GPS location visible to everyone logged in to AP.

Nice ride from home similar to my last ride on Mt Ida, except I went further up the hill. Uup the first 500m of East Peak trail, then across on a dirt biking trail called Jurassic Park). Ended up doing a bit of an uphill out and back on Jurassic Park because my expected cut across/connector trail did not end up existing, so I bush-wacked my bike through about 70m of fairly open forest to get over to my intended down trail. Came down a bunch of the dirt biking Silver Slope trails, and just back along Auto Rd. instead of the more trail route of Bullwinkle.

Slowly mapping in the trails on Ida, but still have a bunch to go.

Really cold up top, with about 1.5 inches of old crusty snow, and puddles totally frozen. Unfortunately, I did not wear full finger gloves which was a mistake.
