Good day in the woods. Be aware...as you near the end of Jerusalem trail, there is a steep pitch, it’s currently all hard ice under that snow.... (I took 2 good falls on the way down) As you get closer to the ski area, skiers are skiing on/near the trail....with all the tracks everywhere- I completely lost the trail, ended up doing a bit of bushwhacking and found it eventually. Snowshoes car to car. |
