Comments
Comments: Skis or snowshoes should be used on Black Mountain Ski Trail until the snow is gone.

First bare boot hike of the year. I saw snow and crust so I spiked up at the beginning, but quickly realized it was not nessasarily. What snow and ice that was there was soft and easily walked on. Smooth sailing to the summit. I like this walk,it's quite easy mind you, but still very pleasant. Some might poo poo it, but not me. Shay needed it for his round 4.
