Loop on this side trying to push the pace. The snow was mostly a sort of barely slush - very easy to walk on in the sense of easy on the joints, you just sort of slid into each step. There was enough traction to get up the hills. Warm out but windy.

14-18-14-14-18 Really hard today - maybe should have taken another day off.
A long hike getting over to the other side of the valley. Mixed conditions with a few trails almost down to dirt, many sections that were sheets of ice and some that were packed snow and easy to walk on. You never knew what would be around the bend in the trail.
Same hike as yesterday but in vastly better conditions. Part of the time I was walking on the snow next to the trails - it was solid with a quarter inch or so of granular stuff on top for traction and it felt like I was walking on air. Really nice sunrise.
