Macomb, South Dix, Hough 2/21/12

[Pine Marten]

Two of us did this hike from Elk Lake via the Macomb slide. Microspikes and snowshoes were used the entire day. The road is packed snow and appears to be quite skiable. The slide is also packed snow allowing for good footholds. The remainder of the trail is hard and well broken out. The path from the Macomb/South Dix col to the Lillian Brook trail appeared to be broken at the col, but we did not see evidence of traffic below. This is the best shape in which I ever have seen this entire route.
