| Comments: |
The Battell Trail was in great shape; well packed. The Long Trail had some drifting in spots that benefitted from using snowshoes. The exposed section on top of Abraham, and even a couple of the steep spots near the top, had some ice to be wary of. The warming temps created some sticky snow near the bottom when we were finishing around noon. |
