The natural snow cover in the lowest elevations is a still a little thin for the best cross country skiing but there is deep snow requiring snowshoes for travel in the higher elevations.

A day after leading a hike for the Catskill 3500 club, we relaxed by hiking Leavitt (aka Southwest Hunter) and Hunter Mountain. Finding the can on Leavitt was a piece of cake with a nice track already worn along the main herd path on an old rail bed. It wasn’t really fair to call it a bush whack on this day.
