Lost and Found
Lost and Found: found one half-eaten apple at the picnic table on the top of Belknap. I'd be happy to reunite it with its owner. Also, one abandoned vehicle low on the East Gilford. Needs a new battery and maybe a bit more work. I left it there. 
 
Comments
Comments: Every trail had recently been well-traveled. Bare-booting worked fine by following the single-track. Spikes might have been helpful in a few spots on the East Gilford where a layer of ice lay underneath the packed powder. No ice anywhere else.
