As reported recently, a nicely 'packed track'. Did my part by wearing snowshoes start to finish. Spikes might be handy in steepest sections but shoes will work too. Some slight snow drifting up on the ridge. Butt sleding seems very popular on either North or South descents. Quiet day with only 4 total hikers including myself. Always a 'great day' when Hiking in the Whites :) |
