The temperature was just below zero and the snow was sufficiently hard to support me. The recent warm weather has rendered the ski tracks poor and icy in most places. The hiking conditions were truly exceptional and the views from Long Prairie Ridge great. The cumulated height gain is slightly over 200 m. I met only one large party on a Search and Rescue exercise. Rogers mobile coverage is available at the view points at the north end of Pine Ridge, which is good in case of emergency. I hiked this loop yesterday, 16Jan10, following Tony’s description.
