I descended Carriage to Snapper to Gorge Brook. Trail was too narrow for my skill level, I would rate it difficult. Great snow though!

Breezy point Parking lot is moved down the road 1/2 mile. First mile or so has plenty of blowdown and creek crossings. Conditions good above that.

Trail had thin coverage for the first mile. Gets interesting from the camp misery bridge. Trail was a blast, narrow for a snowboard, but fun as heck!

Skin up ski down with griffin. Awesome conditions. Fresh snow. One icy section about 2/3 up.

Awesome! Coverage above the tree line was extremely wind-blown and thin, so watch out for rocks. Good layer of ice as a base beneath fresh snow.
