keenwesh Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Anyone know where the snow starts? Was thinking about running up the Hoh valley next week and curious where the postholing will start. Snotel shows lots of snow at 4k, but can't find anything lower, and the NPS doesn't seem to answer their phones this time of year (don't blame them, only morons would be trail running in a rainforest right now). Any other ideas for a good marathon to 50k distance that's snow free within a few hours of Olympia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenwesh Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Bottomless mud is more likely the major concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keenwesh Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Can't wait to run on pavement to jump the fence and poach some track workouts, all in a torrential downpour. At least I won't have to wear microspikes. You have any chickenshit that needs rototilling, Off? I haven't asked, but I'm sure Eamon is game to join!

Drederek Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Capitol Forest, Porter creek loop. Up Iron creek down hell creek. Only twenty miles or so if I recollect correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keenwesh Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Did a couple runs out of the Fall creek trailhead in Capitol forest. One was in heinous rain that became grauple that became sleet and freezing wet nasty. I had fun, my buddy endured and had some fun too, I think. Didn't realize there was such good empty singletrack up there! Much shorter commute and the trees are big enough to be pretty, even though they don't compare to oldgrowth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
