This report will be obsolete by tomorrow morning with the impending snow.
Snow started as we reached the Slide, then turned to a mix and eventually rain on the return trip as we descending in elevation. Trail conditions were pretty wet with a fair amount of mud.
We bare-booted the entire hike, except for the Owl's Head Slide which had some ice and necessitated traction.
I fully support the snow shoe police and will drop a dime if I see anyone without snowshoes.
