| Comments: |
Lower and middle polecat were plowed out to the top of the tomcat triple lift. Above there was a choppy mostly broken trail with crust atop powder and occasional patches of semisoft grippy blue ice. Spikes car to car although it was pretty bony down low. Wildcat ridge trail is well broken out from polecat to 19 mile brook trail as I ran into a couple large groups that tracked it out. 1-2” snow down low, 4-6” on the ridge. Snowshoes are deadweight currently |
