It has been a couple years since I have visited the Geophysical Trails, and this time there was enough snow for skiing. I was on my way to a meeting and only had enough time to ski the outer loop, so I hope to return soon and explore some more.

I was in the area for a meeting today, and decided to stop by the Geophysical Trails before returning home. The trailhead is a SnoPark, so the trails are accessible year-round.
