Comments
Comments: Manning and Holt trails were solid packed with 1-2" fluffy snow.
Vistamont Trail had about 4-6" fluffy snow on a sometimes unsupportive crust.Trail hard to follow at times due to sparse or faint blazes both in the hardwoods and on the summit ledges. There was no evidence of recent travel on this trail.
