Location: FS 16 rd. west end of Logan Valley
Road & Trail Conditions: FS 15 & 16 rds. improving with warmer temps., dry pavement to packed sno & ice. no trail grooming yet. snomobile tracks on 1630, 1640, 1648, 1649. cattleguards not covered
FS 1643 south started with fresh tire tracks, packed - only for 1/2 mile. remainder was older tire tracks with 1-2" damp snow
Snow Conditions: started packed, damp; ended very sticky
Skis on & temperature: 9:30am 35° overcast to partly sunny (JD: 47° & overcast)
Skis off & temperature: noon 42° mostly sunny
Distance: 6 miles
Rating (1-10; 10 awesome): started as a 9 ended as a 3
Comments: decent fairly flat ski for 2 miles, then became too sticky & turned around when south exposure increased (orange dotted line above). snowshoe stepping with 1-2" snow stuck to skis. great workout, poor skiing.
was planning to do a loop (purple dotted line above), maybe a little ambitious. will try another time.
went looking for better conditions further east & higher elevation at summit prairie. see previous post.
