 | Comments: |
Nineteen Mile Brook to Carter Dome Trail - well packed, barebootable. No blowdowns.
Carter Dome Trail to Zeta Pass - had to break 6" of snow on the way up, broke another 6" of snow on the way back down.
Carter-Moriah Trail from Zeta Pass to South Carter - tracks from a day earlier pretty much gone. On the way back, much of my tracks were gone. Broke through 6-12" of snow, drifts upwards of 2 feet.
Carter Moriah Trail from South Carter to Middle Carter - lots of drifting, my tracks were erased in less than 5 minutes in many places. Drifts upwards of about 3 feet deep.
Carter Dome Trail to Carter Dome - I broke 1-3' of powder (2-3' up high, 1-2' down low). Trail is now well packed. |
