 | Comments: |
Trail in perfect condition. Brought snowshoes but never softened before 1:00 allowing micros with no damage. Great job by those between last snow and today. I found microspikes sufficient but something a little more aggressive would've helped traction on upper section. No recent use of Skyline or trail to White Rocks. Middlesex Tr. seemed to be broken out but not as packed as Waterbury side. Trail to myself, pleasant surprise with conditions far better than anticipated!! |
