Four squads of people with human-powered tools complemented by two squads with chainsaws traversed and cleared all of the designated ski trails on the mountain. To quote one of the squad leaders, “The trails are pristine!†However, bulldozing to support logging activity along the lower half mile of the 93Z gives rise to concerns about erosion come heavy rains and snow melt. |

 | Comments: |
Hikers often miss the sign at the bottom of the Alexandria Ski Trail, so that’s where they go rather the along the Holt-Clark Cutoff or the Vistamont Trail. There needs to be a 3-season sign as well as one on high. The day ended with the established tradition of a free dinner at the lodge. We offer our thanks to the lodge staff, who earlier that weekend dealt with a power outage longer than 24 hours, and the NH Chapter Family Group from Saturday into Sunday. |
