Comments
Comments: excellent shape top to bottom. Trail was well packed, frozen solid and perfect for micro spikes. I never sank in.

my main reason for this report is that not too far after the Mt. Wonalancet cut off there was one set of post holes that in places went down over a foot. These continued along the trail or in the trail itself until the summit of Hibbard Mt. When these are covered by tonight's new snow they could pose a safety hazard unless you are wearing snowshoes.
