Very fun day and some trails I hadn't been on after snowboarding the morning at Gunstock. Snowed heavily all afternoon, covering all the black ice - very slippery ice floes on ledges, but, sharp Hillsounds worked well. Never saw anyone tho there were plenty of cars in in the lot and many footprints on the trails. Found the picnic tables/party area quite active near summit of Gunstock :)
