Comments
Comments: Not much snow in the woods. Trail is very hard packed snow/ice. A little lighter higher up snow is looser and a little drifted. Tried some buttsledding lower down and the trail is too dang hard! Past the Waumbek viewpoint, the trail is not tracked out. Used Hillsounds and others were using Microspikes which were perfect. Some others had snowshoes but carried them the whole time and used spikes.
