Stratton Pond from Kelley Stand, not the Dam Long Tour

There is alot of snow up there, well consolidated with some crust on top, turns could be had if you had stiff enough boots. The bent over and broken-off trees and branches did make things slow in places. We skied the CT to the Pond following day-old tracks (thanks George for cutting and clearing as you went), watched an eagle, had lunch, circumnavigated the pond, skied back to the SP/CT junction and followed fresh tracks down the old CT toward the pond for a bit before it looked like more bushwhacking than some of us were up for, so we skied back to KS.
