JP was able to wake up his last day to another inch of snow. It was clear and cold all day yesterday. We never saw temperatures above 14 degrees. The low last night was 13 and it is currently 15.

The clouds are moving in and the winds are blowing hard. This is not a good combination for an airlift. Highway 441 is currently closed due to ice and snow. It is not looking good for flying today. I guess it is time to clean some more.

And after all that cold hard work at the LZ yesterday...no airlift.
Hey JP...It's hard to meet you at the trail head if the road is closed.

Yes Joshua, you will need some sort of ice crampon to make it up Alum. It is super icy on the trails.
