Snowy Mesa Trail

60 minutes
easy to moderate pace
5 pm - cold with light snow - ran home from work via the same route as Monday - only this time I left a half an hour earlier and had more light to work with, and 3-4 inches of fresh powder covered the trail - it was a little harder climbing with the snow on the ground - I could just barely see the flatirons through the snowflakes and clouds (beautiful) - the snow cover made the ice underneath a little less treacherous - saw four mule deer ascending a steep slope west of NCAR - the long climb took a bit longer, but seemed much shorter today - feelin' good - really starting to enjoy this winter snowy weather - Boulder feels like a ski town this winter.
