Date of Hike: 2/10/2013
Trail Conditions: 12-18" or so of fresh snow, with much deeper drifts in spots on the ridgeline.
Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes.
Comments: Broke trail the entire way (exhausting, especially up on the ridge going through drifts!). Being a solo hiker, trail is semi-broken rather than fully packed down. At the summit, saw firmly packed trail indicating one or more groups came up from one or both of the other access points.
This hike was partly in NY and partly in MA, but am including this in NY state because I started from a NY parking area.
