 | Comments: |
Fire Tower Tr. packed out by at least 3 snowshoers. Still far from being hard packed. No action on Ridge Tr. since before last 2 large snowfalls so expect 2 plus feet if taking this trail. No tracks continuing on Catamount Tr. after Fire Tower Tr. branches off since last snow. Used shoes except for tower section where I used Hillsound Pros. Was able to easily stay on trail as there was deep snow over the ice in this section. |
