Diehard Update: 2/28/18
Well…I’ll lay out what we’ve got here: Snow cover is thin to bare in the exposed areas and ranges upwards of 8-16 inches in the shady woods around Indian Lake. For the most part, the trails still hold a leftover base, with bald spots on turns and exposed areas. You can see the snow pack […]
