Excellent. Thanks for posting that. I haven't been there in years. How far up did you drive? I've also been to Segelsen Ridge (one mountain to the west). North Mountain looks better (but I haven't been to either in at least ten years).

Thanks for posting. Fond memories of when a friend and I skied and camped next to the lookout years ago. I'm curious in your picture...who plowed the road? Sometimes roads like this get plowed if there is a logging "show" accessed nearby.

We were both wondering the same thing about plowing. It just abruptly ends. There's no obvious reason for being cleared or for where the plowing ends. There's nothing but MTB trails on that road to the very top where the lookout is.

Nice trip Cyclopath. I took the skinny skis to North Mountain last year. They work really well on the snow covered roads. You got the better views though. I was in the middle of the cloud.

I'm probably done skiing for the year but my preference is snow-covered roads as they are usually not too steep for my limited abilities. I'm sad that I didn't take up skiing earlier but am glad that I eventually did.
