Comments
Comments: The trail was mostly free of snow until Owl's Head Path. The lower part of the slide was dry, patches of snow and ice started about half way up but they were quickly melting. We put on our Microspikes in the trees at the top of the slide, where the trail turned into a series of ice flows. Snow depth was 1 - 3 feet on the ridge.
