Comments: with as much recent snow, finding groomed or snomo tracks is helpful. even with groomed there was still 4-6" to break trail. slightly warm temps made sno sticky, even with maxiglide before & during trip. return in my tracks was much easier.
this is a lovely trip, all gentle climb at first & downhill on return. once at the top of ridge, flat for several miles, many open meadow areas, as 31 continues down toward FR 37.
can connect with snowshoe trail loop from 31; looked 2+' deep & no tracks when i went by
