 | Comments: |
Fantastic day for snowshoeing in the Reservation with snow mostly still in powder form. Almost no ice anywhere. Major trails all packed out. While ascending Buck Hill Summit trail it was 50% packed out with parallel cross-country tracks. Cross-country tracks only after intersection with old Buck Hill Summit trail. |
