Good and Bad!

The trail this morning had some good and bad news!
Much of the trail is either bare or covered in snow/ice that was fairly pitted and fairly easy to run on, especially with screws in your shoes. Areas that are open to the sun, such as the Monarch Trail, were down to the dirt.
Unfortunately, many of the slopes are solid dangerous ice.
The trail down to the bridge crossing and the switch backs on the Main Loop were unpassable.
I cut short today so did not make it up to the top of Headwaters to view the conditions there.
The snow tonight might help to improve the conditions somewhat.
The temperatures are supposed to hit the plus side again by mid week.
