With thanks to @DixieFlyer, I went up Ord as soon as I could after hearing of the closure’s end. It had snowed the night before, with the powder starting a bit below FR 626. I had the mountain to myself all morning, but if you HAD been there, you would have heard me whooping as I jogged? frolicked? gamboled? cavorted? romped? down the hill through the beautiful fresh snow. It was the stuff perfect memories are made of.

Spent 15 minutes at the top watching and listening to snow/ice falling off the towers and striking lower wires/tresses. Wonderful sound!

Yeah, it’s depressing to see the devastation below FR626, but the trail is still in excellent condition, and I have confidence it will remain my go-to training hike during the summer.
