Comments
Comments: Overall, the trail was in great shape! With the amount of folks out there the trail was pretty well broken out. In terms of traction, saw plenty of snowshoes out there, a couple skiing, a few with light traction, some with no traction. Without snowshoes, stepping off the trail people may sink in a ways. Other than that, there were a few isolated spots where bare-booted steps punched down through the trail.
