Comments
Comments: Trail breaking in April - say it ain't so, but man was the snow lovely. A couple big drifts up high! I'm not known for my navigation skills but managed to stay mostly on trail between Starr King and Waumbek (a couple short deviations here and there).

Didn't see a soul all afternoon :)

Snowshoes definitely a must in the immediate future.
