| Comments: |
An excellent snowshoe track runs from the trailhead all the way to the summit of Nancy. Particular appreciation goes to whoever broke out the herdpath up the very steep summit ascent. Currently, at least, the snow is well compacted with little post holing in the trail and is surprisingly supportive even off trail. |
