| Comments: |
Very windy upon arrival; calmed down around noon. Barebooted up and micros from top to highest brook crossing on way down. Trail mostly packed, fresh snow (1-2") by 20-25 hikers. Few wet, slushy spots and a few soft icy spots. Will change with weeks forecast. 50-50 between hikers with/without traction. Lots of snow making all day; hopefully some will be around late week. |
