Silver Star condition update
Posted: November 8th, 2017, 12:32 pm
In case anyone is wondering… Silver Star already has lots of snow. I could see that from Portland, but had to go see if it was bootable. The first 30 minutes up the Grouse Mountain Trail on 11/7 was on packed crusty snow with lots of boot tracks. After that, we spent two hours breaking trail, punching through almost to knee level. So there is a nice boot track of post holes to follow now.
Oops… too late, it’s snowing again. Unless we get a warming trend, it's skis or snowshoes from now on. We stopped short of the summit because the wind yesterday was brutal on top.
