 | Comments: |
The trail was packed down and light traction (Hillsounds for me, microspikes for my husband) were very sufficient. With that said, I would kindly recommend that sledders refrain from sledding down the steep sections to avoid making a steep track even more hazardous for those climbing up and down. [Kind recommend wearing snowshoes too!] |
