TRAIL CONDITIONS:
This trail was well tramped out to Mt. Pickering. The consolided snow-pack (along with some brief icy sections) was ideally suited for microspikes. The trail from Mt. Pickering over the Crippies was not as heavily travelled and the snow was less consolidated. I switched to snowshoes, but probably could have continued on microspikes without postholing.
There are no water crossings on the portions of the trail that I hiked.
Blowdowns were a non-issue.
