| Comments: |
A fine day in the woods. All snow/ice is between Whiteface and Passaconaway. Traction went for a ride, although it may have sped us up across the ridge. Zero traces of snow on southern faces. Zero traces of snow below 3600'. I don't believe traction is needed on these trails going forward. |
