 | Comments: |
Was hoping to be able to bareboot to Eliza Brook Shelter n have decent powder conditions above. I only managed to make it up to the Powerlines .5mi S of the shelter due to snow staring at about 2000' on Reel Brook Tr and postholio destroying the upper .5mi of this trail causing me to switch to snowshoes at 2400'. |
