1 small blowdown about 1/2 way up Webster-Jackson Tr. and 1 nasty blowdown about 1/2 way down the Crawford Path which requires ducking under and then climbing over. Small saw could take out the first one but the one on Crawford Path will be tough. |

 | Comments: |
Used rockspikes from jct. with Webster Branch on way up and for rest of day. Could have bare booted entire day as there was surprisingly very little ice. Snow pack was deep enough for most of the day so that one wasn't abusing their traction if careful. To echo other recent reports trails are still 8-12" from nice snowshoe conditions but gaining. Suggest at least light traction as conditions may change much. |
