Prairie Mountain

"After celebrating certain life milestones the night before I was ready for a relaxed pace up. So since my friend is not a speedy hiker, we took our time. It was warmer than we expected. " — BertB • Sep 17, 2020

"Felt good on the lower sections. The upper section had enough snow to make it slippery. I broke a microspike on the summit ridge. On the way down I took to the fresh snow beside the trail. 2.5h car to car. Not too bad for getting almost no exercise." — BertB • May 12, 2020

"Snowed a ton overnight, was not expecting winter hiking! Luckily we had all the right gear but still quite the trek. Also being in the clouds the farthest you could see was about 30-40 feet in all directions from the top. " — snowsurfer • May 11, 2020

"A snowy day on Prairie. Drifts upto a meter near the summit. Normally I wouldn't add route finding, but the trail was not broken, and I had to pay attention so I would stay on route. This was due to the snow on the trail, and in the air." — BertB • Sep 29, 2019

"Joined SnS for the Tuesday afte rwork special. 1h12m up, ~2h car to car. Wore a t-shirt shortly after starting up until done. A bit breezy at the top. Snow and ice were avoidable and I did not need microspikes." — BertB • Mar 26, 2019

"A quick 2h car to car lap with Slow and Steady. Walking up to the summit as the light disappeared was neat. Also saw a lot of stars when we got back to the car. Good training." — BertB • Feb 26, 2019

"I started up with sun and -29C. Ran into Brandon B and Francisco who were on their way down. The beers I drank the night before were not helping me but this was a good way to pay for my sins. I was sweating quite a bit on the way up and took off a sweater quite early on. I carried my gloves in my hands for a good portion of the way up and down. Used my microspikes for the steep section on the way down. Shortly after the steep section I had to shed the longjohns too. Some ice was melting from the car. Drove away, -22." — BertB • Feb 10, 2019

"Under out nation's flag, it was unanimously decided that our country's leader is an ass. :) A somewhat relaxed pace, met up with a few other people and had a nice day up and down." — BertB • Jan 5, 2019

"Training lap with Gen after work. Someone lost their small dog and we kept our eyes out for it. They found it the next morning at sunrise, thankfully. We're happy it survived the night! More snow than the week before. We stopped to talk to people about the dog along the route, but taking out the stopped time on the app, I was up in 1:00:42, which I'm happy with even though it's well off my PB of 49 minutes." — leigh-annewebster • Mar 21, 2018

"With arctic temperatures all week just needed some exercise. Normally I don't touch this one till the end or beginning of the year but given it was -25C and few views decided to re-do it. Completed the up down in a blazing 3 hours." — Mountainman • Dec 11, 2016
