Ethan Pond Trail, as well as Kendron Flume Trail and the back side of Willey Range Trail have had activity and are firm packed with a few inches of powder on top. Worked with Micro-Spikes on way up, whacked with snowshoes and kept them on for the descent of Ethan Pond Trail.
off-trail a good 2-3 feet of snow- found some nice spruce traps to dig out from. |
