| Comments: |
This report will be outdated by tomorrow due to the forecast snow storm. Today the trail was hard packed and can be walked with bare boots or snowshoes. Only a few postholes. The Kilkenny Ridge trail north of Mt Cabot was unbroken. The Kilkenny Ridge trail south to Terrace Mtn had a track but was not recently used. Good views of the Mahoosuc Range and distant views of Lafayette, Cannon, and Mt Mansfield. |
