Looking down the trail to Great Hill
Despite being worn out for a heck of a lot of skiing at Wildcat the day before, I simply had to get outside and enjoy the good weather. Thus, I decided to do a jog up the trail to Great Hill.
The trail, while still having significant snow on it, was barebootable due to the constant grooming all winter.
The views from the top were, as usual, excellent.
