| Comments: |
Lots of cars in the lot but most of the folks we saw were xc skiing in the flats. We had a great hike. Lots of snow on the trail and no hazards to speak of. Trail was broken most of the way, but we had to break for the final summit push due to some drifting. The group in front of us had lost the trail and made a bushwhack route. We dropped a log over it. Blazes were largely buried (I assume) or faded up high, but there were a few decent ones. Rollins trail was broken at the junction but we skipped whiteface. Walden trail was not broken at the junction at the summit. Snowshoes were fine top to bottom. |
