 | Comments: |
The trails are generally hard packed with frozen boot and snowshoe post holes at upper elevations and along the ridge. There are lots of open, running water sections on 19 MBT which are easy to traverse. It was a beautiful day to be out hiking. Would have loved to have been able to ski down Polecat, the ski (& hiking) conditions were amazing. |
