Soft Snow on the Mesa

54 minutes
easy to moderate pace
5 pm - dusk - very warm today in Boulder (60 degrees with snow melting everywhere), and it was still close to 50 when I set out - ran home from work via my usual commuter route (up 9th to Chautauqua, up the Mesa Trail, down Bear Creek Canyon fire road, Bear Mountain Park, and home) - the snow on the trail was very soft and my feet often would post-hole a foot down into it - very muddy on the south-facing slopes, but still a lot of snow in the trees - felt strong tonight.
