 | Comments: |
19MB is pretty much hard-packed due to hut traffic, few spots of ice here and there in some open areas where water flows to the brook. Carter Dome Trail had a dusting to 1” of new snow until closer to Zeta Pass. Closer to the pass there was some exposed ice, one significant ice bulge. At Zeta Pass, and on Carter-Moriah Trail, the snow depth increased to 2-4”, but nothing that needed snowshoes; microspikes or similar worked just fine. Same across the ridge and then partway down North Carter Trail. North Carter and Imp has some ice hidden under a dusting of snow, but again, microspikes did just fine. Weather was nicer than advertised, at least on the Carters. Another great day out with Greg YEAH! |
