On Mon.20 Steve Roholt and Byron Garner hiked the snowshoe race course in preparation for the soon and "hoped to be " race. Ten trees were found down and blocking the Switchback segment of the course and will be scheduled for removal by the FOSM trail crew immediately following the Holidays. The remainder of the course was found to be clear. The reported tree at Gravel Pit and 130 - a classic porcupine - was removed.
