Comments
Comments: Brook Trail was fairly dry this morning with some minor mud and a few patches of avoidable black ice up high.

Ski trails are mostly mowed at this point.

Foliage is a little bit past peak, but still some great colors.

Crisp, clear morning with temperatures in the 30s and a white Waterville Valley (snowmaking!) visible from the summit.
