Gold Mint Trail

I had several hours before the Ski Patrol meeting so ran the Gold Mint Trail.  There was a lot less snow on the trail compared to last week when I was there. There was even about a half mile that was nearly snow-free.  But the rest of the trail up to mile 3 where I turned around was covered with wet snow.  It really was quite warm, likely above freezing the entire way.  It was a little difficult to run in some places because even with ice grippers, the snow was somewhat slippery.  But I was able to run most of the way.  It was raining down in town but not at all up on the trail.  The sun actually came out right at the 3 mile point.  It was a wonderful 6 mile run.
