Comments
Comments: Sandwich Mountain Trail was broken out nicely from the parking lot to Jennings peak with some minor post-holing closer to Jennings as the snow got softer. From Jennings Peak to Sandwich dome, the trail was windblown and covered over. I broke it out from Jennings to Sandwich dome. The snow is soft here but not too bad. There's several blowdowns to Sandwich dome, but none of them too hard to go around or under. Drakes Brook Trail was broken out with about 5 inches of power on top. Again, I was able to pack that down w/ my snowshoes.
