Great day out, few people hiking. Icy patches on Avalon easy to walk around. Light traction was fine up to the Tom spur trail. Snowshoes or light traction worked well after that. Current trail conditions probably won't matter after tomorrow's storm. The highlight of our day was watching a pine marten on our way back through the junction at the Tom spur trail.
