Trail Conditions: Well, Mt Mansfield was looking magnificent today. Although the mountain looked snowy, the snow wasn't very deep. The trail had between four and six inches of snow cover, pretty consistently below the treeline, with occasional drifts off-trail. Above the treeline, there was a...

Trail Conditions: There is a winter parking lot that has been plowed, several hundred feet before the gate. Four wheel drive vehicles can still get up to the park gate. The trail had between six and eight inches of snow cover, pretty consistently below the treeline, with the deepest snow...
