 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
We were mildly surprised how comparatively few cars there were today despite the gorgeous weather. Less than two dozen. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow/Ice - Postholes |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
Snowshoes, Light Traction, Skis |
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Everything was frozen or bridged. The bridge that is closed at mile 1.8 of Lincoln Woods is easily circumvented (it’s barely as long as a pair of skis) and a lot of people were ignoring the fact that it was closed. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails are in fantastic condition. There was only one notable blowdown out on the Bondcliff that was easily stepped over even in skis. There may be others, but they are buried under snow. One duck under as well. Also see the note about the bridge closure on the Lincoln Woods. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Lots of dogs, all very happy. |
|
 | Bugs: |
|
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Found one nice, black glove and left it on the bench at the ranger station. |

 | Comments: |
What a fantastic day to be out. Trails are in terrific condition. Some minor post-holing beyond the wilderness boundary, but nothing problematic. We opted for skiing today and the snow is absolutely fantastic right now. Well-packed on the entire route. |
