Horse Hill Conditions - Bill Morse

Late this afternoon [Wednesday] I snowshoed the Beaver Brook course with Steve Wolfe and Mike Wade. The overall conditions are very much like Horse Hill. About 85% of the new course is on single track with a good mix of up and down terrain. The snow is plenty deep to likely withstand the next two days of warmer temps. especially because the temps are also supposed to be below freezing the next two nights in the Hollis, NH area, and it's all "woods" running. The course measures around 3.3 miles. Steve's GPS lost signal a few times....so came out to 2.85, but estimated up should be a "longish" 5K. I used standard cleats and they worked fine, but I'm bringing my "deeps" in case the snow softens up on Sat.

Thanks to Steve's advocating for a better course with Mike A., this year's course is a tremendous improvement!!!! Should be fun!
