| Comments: |
Ski trail groomed for easy sailing. Used snowshoes all the way up and over the ridge and down to 19 Mile Brook Trail. The Ridge Trail was filled in and had some minor drifting. Nicely packed out the whole way now. At the 90 degree bend on the steeps of "A", someone had gone up the gulley. There are two snow shoe tracks there now. Take the sharp left going up for the switchbacks. 19 Mile Brook Trail was really rough with frozen post-holes pocking up the trail. |
