The good news was that we had the pass to ourselves. The bad news was that the skiing was pretty marginal.
We pretty much knew that conditions were likely fairly poor, but six Ramblers were anxious enough to get out on their AT/tele gear and to ski the Highwood Pass area before it closes.
We set off a little before 10. The access trail was not much worse than it usually is, but it is a bit of a challenge even at the best of times. Once we got to the open meadows, track conditions improved somewhat.
There was probably a bit of snow that evening, but it doesn't look like much more is coming to Highwood Pass before it closes Dec 1. I for one will likely have to make do with only one trip to the area this season.
Many thanks to participants Terry,Phyllis,Ed,Mark, and Hookie for joining me, Carl (C/S).
