Snow Run ⛄️

Some very minor navigation discrepancies, will discuss in detail below. Otherwise it was a solid rip, didn't push too hard but it was a decent long run (too bad my HR data seems to be totally unreliable). The route was all over the place, steep and super technical in places but gently graded and paved in others.  Did not feel like anywhere close to 4000ft of vert, but maybe my legs are just desensitized. Trail conditions were overall very good, a couple of spots of consolidated snow and ice, and a few muddy stretches though. Navigation is a bit tricky as there are a lot of unmarked side trails and the route even follows unmarked trails a few times. Even the well marked turns seemed unintuitive to me, and I often had to stop to figure out where the trail went.

For any future FKTers, I started my clock at the noticeable sign for the AT/ Suffern-Bear Mountain Trail/ Major Welch Trail and stopped the clock at the map/bulletin board in front of the ice rink (see photos). There seems to have been some slight re-routes on the AT ascending Bear Mountain, which deviated slightly from the GPS track I was following. I always followed the white blazes going up Bear Mountain.
