 | Comments: |
Submitting report to let others know that this route the Crotched was open (as of last Sunday). There was not a lot of mud, most was easily avoided, and even to doggos stayed mud free. Fairly easy trails, mostly dry. Wandered around the summit, and towers. Ski trails had more snow than I expected, there was little bare ground until the lower elevations (could have used spikes for better traction). Saw several others ascending, one in spikes, others to ski down. |
