| Comments: |
Trails were mostly dry with some slippery rock from the moist air. Ski trail grass/weeds starting to grow, but still passable. Plenty of wildflowers on ski slopes and strawberries should be growing before long. Reportedly lots of blowdowns around West Tecumseh.
Waterville Valley ski area was having a volunteer clean up day on the slopes today and made the nice gesture of giving hikers leftovers from the cookout. |
