|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Some small blowdowns and a few big ones still on LT. We sawed as many as we had time and energy for. A resonably-motivated person can get thru, but they will brush against snowy trees and have to dodge broken limbs. The packed snowshoe trail varied from the LT twice, but only for 100' each time. |

 | Comments: |
Hearing the lifts was uplifting today, as I was tired of trashing, dodging, and cutting. Saw one hard-core skier with helmet and goggles heading from Mad River Glen to the lovely high views of Sugarbush. Four hours up, three down. Faster for the next crew, tho. |
