 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Small step-over blowdown on Elwell Trail just west of where it splits off of Orange Trail, headed for Little Sugarloaf is no longer an issue -- it's been stepped on enough lately that it's now resting on the ground. Recent step-over blowdown (~16-inch diameter) on southern end of Goose Pond Loop. Also, on Orange Trail where it intersects southern end of Goose Pond Loop, there's a small, knee-high step-over blowdown (about 4-5 inches in diamater). |

Barely any ice/snow on the trail -- small patches very easily avoided; trail is easily bare-bootable.
Other than a few short patches of mud and wet leaves, the trails are completely dry, including the ledges. |
