Great CALM day out! The whack from beaver brook is well tracked and extremely obvious. Gale River Trail is a mix of packed mono and packed mono with unconsolidated super fine fluffy snow. Still need snowshoes for it - we wore car to car. Twinway is in great firm glissading shape. North Twin spur is broke out but still will require some additional work to make it a nice snowshoe track. |
