| Comments: |
Starting with just a dusting of snow on the Dorset woods road, increasing to an inch over frozen, ice glazed rocks. Put on Microspikes for the stream crossings and kept them on for rest of the hike. Breakable crust for the last 300 yards before the ridge. ATV trails were packed with 1-2 inches of loose powder on top. |
