Comments
Comments: I used snowshoes the entire way and would recommend this to others. Lincoln woods may be barebootable right now, but on all other sections snowshoes are a must as non-snowshoe use will chew up the track.

Very fast and easy conditions for Owl's Head. The bushwhacks and all trails are broken out. It looks like all traffic has taken the Black Pond Bushwhack (not the eastern portion of Lincoln Brook tr.). Folks have been up and down the slide and the couple I spoke with said it wasn't bad.
