 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A few blowdowns but nothing crazy. Most look as though they have been there for a bit as the herd path around them was just as stable as the main trail bed. Will have to wait for snow melt to remove given the size of them. |

My lab loved every bit of it, and we saw one other pooch. No issues with terrain or ice this time. |

Filled in some redlining today and it was nice to be out without major crowds. Could probably get away with just spikes the entire trek, but I put my snowshoes on when I reached Mizpah hut in case there were any drifts on the ridge/summits. A couple of inches of loose powder on top of a very consolidated monorail (although it is narrow in spots going down Webster-Jackson). Bring your gear people! Spoke with one "turned around" gentleman who had no map, or idea of which trailhead he parked at; just asked how to get back to Rte. 302. Another couple were out in jeans and barebooting talking about how they were chilly and slipping all day. |
