 | Comments: |
The trail is like a magnificent sidewalk right now. The conditions are excellent. The traction up and down the steep parts was excellent. The snow was well consolidated. The Hillsounds were the perfect choice for the day and worked to perfection on the entire hike. On the entire loop you had the impression you were walking in a perfect snowshoe tract and the trail probably has not yet this year seen a snowshoe. |
