Hiking Trail Conditions Report
	Peaks	North Tripyramid, Middle Tripyramid, NH

	Trails:	Pine Bend Brook Trail, Mt. Tripyramid Trail

	Date of Hike:	Saturday, December 21, 2019

	Parking/Access Road Notes:	The usual parking area on the North side of the Kanc. opposite the TH is not plowed very well but there is not a lot of snow. No problem getting inside the white line.

	Surface Conditions:	Ice - Blue, Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular

	Recommended Equipment:	Snowshoes, Light Traction

	Water Crossing Notes:	Open water at all but generally easy rock-hops with some caution.

	Trail Maintenance Notes:	Half a dozen blowdowns on the lower section of Pine Bend. All easy to get over/under. Another half dozen along the ridge - also easy enough to deal with. 2 have paths around them.

	Dog-Related Notes:	Excellent trail conditions for canines. Some icy conditions on some of the steeper sections but fairly easy to avoid/get around. Crossings as good as could be expected - but none are bridged and a couple not so easy to get over without wet paws.

	Bugs:

	Lost and Found:


	Comments:	Trails broken out and well consolidated. Some boney sections. I used snowshoes for most of the way up and about a third of the way down. Then used Hillsounds for steeper sections - descending. No signs of travel on Scaur Ridge, Sabbaday Brook and on Mt. Tripyramid tr. towards South peak as well as down the North Slide.
