When all was said and done we got about 4 inches of snow and then the bottom dropped out on the temperatures. I tried a thinner sock combination in my boots today and hated it- not only did it run colder, there was too much slide inside the boot and I had to keep readjusting my laces, which completely sucks when its 10 degrees out with 12 mph winds. On the other hand, it was a good measure of just how long it takes for my fingers to freeze when exposed. About 30 seconds.
It was 90 minutes total with a 30 lb pack but no incline, only uneven grassy horse trails. Cold, but there was definitely the reward of the sparkle and quiet of new snowfall and the absence of any footprints before me that day.
