Comments
Comments: First portion of Belknap Range Trail (ie White blazed trail ie tower access road) was plowed. Above the ski jump turn off, there were a pair of snowshoe tracks heading up to the tower. Generally about 1-2" of sugar snow under a breakable ice crust. I was able to bareboot up the snowshoe tracks without sinking or slipping. Up on the ridge, the snowshoe track was a bit more defined, but once again bootable. That said, if doing a longer hike on lesser used trails in the area right now, I suspect snowshoes would be the best choice.
