Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: A couple of blowdowns on the ridge are easy "duck-unders" now but with more snow they could be a bit of nuisance.

Comments
Comments: On a windy day the lifts were closed and Helle and I seemed to have the entire mountain to ourselves. Not much revenue for the ski-resort today but they made 20 bucks from us!

Polecat nicely groomed but with a hard, icy crust. Any kind of traction will work.

Wildcat Ridge tr. had not been traveled since the last storm but wind and rain had consolidated any new snow - for the most part. It was crusted but not always with sufficient strength and we occasionally post-holed in snowshoes. Anything but snowshoes will be pretty tough going across the ridge.
