 | Comments: |
Trail is well established with snowshoe traffic but still too soft for bare boots. A few BB-ers roughed things up a bit but it is generally packed all the way to Round Pond - Mt Klem had significantly less traffic, only a few snowshoers before me - but thankfully it was broken out. A few drifts higher up.
Both Round Pond to Gunstock nordic and GIlford East up to Mt Belknap are untravelled, untouched since last snowstorm. |
