| Comments: |
All the trails were well packed and grippy. Some summit/open areas where snow had blown and drifted had some postholes, but nothing major. We heard that the trail off the Ethan Pond side of Willey was very icy. Lots of people this weekend, a few dogs, and a few very pushy Canada Jays (please don't feed them!). |
