 | Comments: |
Nineteen Mile Brook trail suffered from warm temps and rain the previous weekend. Couple stretches with serious ice. We put on crampons anticipating more ice on the steep climb out of Carter Notch. However, .7 mile to Wildcat A was packed snow with little ice. Came down ski slope using snow shoes. Overcast all day with some snow falling as we came down the ski slope. A $10 pass is required to hike on the ski slope EITHER ascending or descending. It can ONLY be purchased the day of the hike but they are open early (7:30 am on weekends) |
