The Bald Ledge Trail
Route: Bald Ledge Trail
Yesterday's storm resulted in a crust that sometimes holds snowshoes, other times results in sinking a half inch. Someone had attempted the trail with just light traction, but thankfully turned around after 100 feet of postholing through the ice and the soft snow underneath (even on previously packed trail).
Crunchy conditions, but snowshoes are a must.
