It looks like they do a few laps on a snowmobile to pack the trails. I wore snowshoes expecting some depth in the swampy parts, but the whole trail system is packed and nice. Going back today with just trailrunners and spikes.
Side note: While MA isn't big on peaks, it is on big on trailed conservation land. Please be sure to post conditions of your local trails on public lands - many people are looking for new local snowshoeing and winter hiking spots. |
