On Saturday March 5 Dino and Ivy (big white furry dog) skied the Potholes Trail to the Brooklyn Lake Road.  The temperature was in the mid 20’s with moderate wind.  Snow conditions consisted of several inches of fresh powder over a fairly hard crust of 3-4 inches – I did not dig a snow pit, but Ivy did and said it was comfortable. I saw one party of four with a couple of wuff-wuffs.

 As Bob stated in a 2/10 log there are alternate tracks because of a lack of flagging; reflagging should be done, possibly, as a summer trail project along with some branch pruning.

The Green Rock parking lot was plowed and there were probably 6 different vehicle there when I retuned a few hours later.  If it was consistently plowed I’m convinced that it would be full on a regular basis.  On arrival and departure I saw several parties coming and going with skis, snowboards and snow shoes; there was even a family sliding off the plowed-up snow.
