The Thursday night storm apparently produced nothing in Waterville Valley. Trail is well packed down but still with a soft top. Perfect for snowshoes (used them from start to finish). Did the summit loop counter-clockwise. The Eastern section had 4-6" of unpacked powder and had not been traveled on for some time.
Sosman trail and North-west section of the Tecumseh trail (to Tripoli Road) appears to be packed out but I did not go far on any of them.
Upon the return there was a pile of human waste + toiletpaper just on the side of the trail about a 1/4 of a mile from the trailhead. And more mess further down. Quite bizarre. I did not really have "tools" to deal with it but pushed it to a side and covered up as I best could. Anyone traveling with dogs this week-end - the dogs will find it!
It is a wrap. The mighty Tecumseh was the last for Cinnilla and me for the SSW48. We are done for the season! |
