Started up in Hillsounds on an icy trail… light rain washed the icy trail’s snow cover away.. just above Bald Peak the icy trails turned snow-covered… the further up we went, the nicer the conditions became in the 4-7” of new snow… there are a few cautionary areas between the peaks as the snow is camouflaging the ice.. iykyk, use caution… recommend sharp spikes as this will freeze hard tonite |
