	Comments:	Trails were wet from last night's rain making them slippery in spots. I was trying out some new trail runners today and they seemed to grip well. Brook Trail crosses the ski trails several times which could be a bit tricky to follow in winter. There are well worn paths through the grassy ski trails to follow right now. The Ridge Trail is straight forward and well maintained. Some mowing on the lower mountain ski trails and also up higher along the Ridge Trail. Summit was in the fog this morning offering little views.
