All are small enough diameter to be cleared with a hand saw. Avalon Trail has a climb under on the steep area before the Avalon summit…butt sledders beware, you could probably clear it, but maybe not.

Comments
Comments: Snowshoes are the best choice currently. Below the split for Avalon/A-Z is packed well and spikes would suffice, but above there the trail is pretty soft with considerable drifting. Most were in snowshoes today.

Note to sledders: there is a blowdown at the bottom of a steep area below Avalon. It’s currently a duck/crawl under so you might make it under if you’re sledding, but you might get hung up on it.
