Started off from the Crawford Notch Visitor Center on a very well packed out trail. Me and Jen switched to snowshoes at the junction with Avalon and A-Z. There was about 3-4 inches off powder and someone had barebooted all the way up Tom. We laid down a really nice track up to the summit, but 4 barebooters tore up the trail on their descent. Beautiful day on top of Tom and I was able to find a nice spot with the trees down for a view of Crawford Notch and the Presidentials. I used snowshoes down until the junction to lay down a track behind the barebooters and switched to spikes. Great afternoon hike to bag a 4k. |
