| Comments: |
Opting for an easier and possibly less icy route, I went up and down the Mt. Major and Brook trails. There were a few notable icy sections, but they were all easily bypassed, and for the most part the trails were frozen granular snow/ice and packed powder. Light traction would do the trick if taking this route. Can't speak for the upper half of the Major Trail or the Boulder Trail, though.
