Snowmobiles have used the trail to get up to the Pond Link Trail, which they follow to the west. We headed west on skis and climbing skins in relatively open woods, coming out on the open, ledges a bit southeast of the actual trail. Snow was deep and soft in the woods below the ledges. Ledges where mostly snow covered, though very thinly in many spots. Carried snowshoes but didn't use them.
Woods are open enough for some nice off trail runs and tele-turns through the trees.
Above about 2000 feet snow conditions were great in the woods, a little light crust under a couple of inches of powder. Below 2000 feet, crust was a little harder and thicker, catching your tips and edges and making it harder to turn.
