The water crossing just past the junction with Carrigain Notch trail is open, but there are plenty of rocks to cross on.The last water crossing on the Signal Ridge trail gave way yesterday under slight weight applied, luckily, no one actually stepped out there onto it. We avoided the first water crossing using the bushwhack from Sawyer Road. |

| Comments: |
Fine day to add Carrigain to the list of peaks for winter, albeit very windy yesterday. We used microspikes for the roadwalk. The trail is in good shape, a solidly packed perfect snow shoe all the way to the viewpoint, then some drifts from there to the summit. |
