Comments
Comments: Really great conditions right now. Hard packed trail nearly the whole way. Barebooted up Nineteen Mile Brook and Carter Dome Trail to Zeta pass. From there it was snowshoes all day - up to Dome, over to Hight, butt sledding down Hight, back to Zeta and all the way until the lower mile of Imp. The lower section of Imp was boney and a bit icy, but nothing too bad.

Not sure how the coming storm will treat the trails, but right now they're in great shape.
