| Comments: |
Gunstock Mountain Trail had depths ranging from 6-18", mostly about a foot deep. Still kind of borderline for snowshoes, but upcoming storm should change that.
Saddle Trail and Blue Trail from Gunstock to Belknap - Depths ranging from 6"-2' (drifts).
Green Trail - Snow ranging from 1-2 feet.
Carriage Road - Decently packed out, 0-12" (0" on a maybe 500' stretch of wind exposed road, otherwise generally about 12" of snow, except near gate). |
