| Comments: |
no snow at base, then minimal snow up to the lodge. some of the flat area near cooper lodge was icy. spur trail up to killington was a breeze with microspikes! not nearly as icy as i thought.
overcast in the morning, but stayed up summit/cooper lodge for 2 hours and hiked back up to the summit in time to see the clouds sweep away to reveal a GORGEOUS view! |
