 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Elwell Trailhead not an option right now - not plowed but used as part of the snowmachine network. I parked at Wellington - took a while to find a suitable spot amongst the snow machine trailers. Could easily get stuck if you didn't have 4WD. |

 | Comments: |
Trails around the Goose Pond and Little Sugarloaf were well-broken out by snowshoes. Big Sugarloaf not well-broken out. Top portion still not well-broken out because snow was very soft and punched up somewhat by bare-booters. I would recommend people stick to snowshoes for the trail network right now. |
