Trails overall in great shape. The 1st bridged crossing encountered on 19BT has two of three timbers broken/compromised.there are three blowdowns on 19MBT. The first-a large birch blowdown stepover just beyond the dam. The second blowdown is a walk under which soon will be a duck under.Blowdown 3 is partially in trail. Easy walk around. Trails are well blazed |

Excellent early afternoon hike of these peaks. There was a concrete truck and crew working on access bridge to ski trails today. i was instructed to go around. Ended up going to the right of lodge and quickly found a nice rock hoppable crossing. I encountered very spotty ice on ski trails as well as on WRT. Micros on the pack but unnecessary today. Descending from Wildcat A not far from summit there were a few ice covered rocks but with careful steps no problem whatsoever. Lower levels were either dry or had active waterflow. 19MBT had lots of standing/flowing water and lots of leaves. it was nice chatting with the couple at the A outlook.
