Trail Maintenance Notes

Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Fido might want booties, and the trail was a little on the long side. We did see a few paw prints near the base -- likely the pup was having his 1,325th consecutive best day of his life. But otherwise, the trail was snow-covered from bottom to top. No meaningful ice to speak of.

Comments
Comments: Whomever packed down the trail, a thousand thanks! To the summit, a completely broken down trail, well managed by snowshoes. Minor drifts here and there, but none more than around 25 feet long or so. You won't have a hard time figuring out where to go. If all you have is MicroSpikes, you won't have a hard time. The worst we suffered today was a windy summit.
