 | Comments: |
There is a steep section on Sandwich Mountain trail that I wouldn't recommend for descent, as it's extremely icy. Garry went up in Microspikes but I switched to my Hillsound Pros for more traction. Elsewhere, Microspikes were ok, although snowshoes may have been a better idea coming down on Drake's Brook trail in the afternoon, since it was softening up. |
