Comments
Comments: Light traction was all that was needed on Nineteen Mile Brook Trail to Carter Notch. The trail was packed down with some easily avoidable icy spots. Snowshoes were needed for Wildcat Ridge Trail up to A Peak. The Trail to A Peak was broken out today by three sets of snowshoes, so it should be in decent shape, but not yet bootable.
