A quick update on conditions before the nice weekend... Lots of new snow on the trail, starting at the parking lot. I did not bring snow shoes and made it to the Owl spot before giving in to the inevitable...about 10 inches of new snow at that point and enough old snow to sink to the waist if stepping off the packed tread. The new snow made it hard to stay in the tread, but that should be better tomorrow as there were a few of us packing it down to the Owl spot. A guy with snow shoes went a little further up, but if you plan on going to the pond or beyond, you will probably be breaking new snow so bring the big feet. Gaiters a must, traction a maybe.
