Craig and I were fortunate to meet up (by chance) with Albee at the TH. That made for 2 strong trail breakers (Albee and Craig); my role was quickly reduced to that of the bulk that came along behind and packed it down. And 2 strong trail breakers were needed : high shin powder at the cars became knee deep and then some powder on the ridge. We left behind a trench that is knee deep or more for almost it's entire length. I have been to Cabot multiple times in Winter and I have never before seen so much snow from the cabin on. The good news was little drifting. |
