 | Comments: |
Saw people without traction and a few with YaxTrax. People without traction, or with the YaxTrax were having issues up the ledges, and slipping a lot. Ledges still have a lot of snow/ice left on them, starting to get exposed spots. Had microspikes for most of the day, lots of dry trail at the bottom of Blueberry and Dicey's Mill was in good shape. Tom Wiggin has some nasty ice, and unstable posthole snow, was not "enjoyable". Trees were dropping good size ice chunks, and some branches giving way under the weight of the ice, watch overhead. |
