 | Comments: |
Well packed trails, Black Pond and Brutus bushwhacks are clear and well defined, Brutus is very steep and packed by butt sledding; recommend toothy snowshoes with heel lifts for going up, and butt sliding down (it's just too steep to walk down). Some minor drifts on the ridge obscuring the trail had to be broken back out. |
