 | Comments: |
Ski area very dry, ridge was mostly dry, some mud and puddles. The steep down descending A was dry. Lotsa leaves on the 19 mile brook trail descent made it tedious for wanting to stop thinking about where I was placing my feet at the end of the day. Wobby legged from Saturday made it feel longer |
