Snowshoes the entire time. Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail was in great shape, perfect snowshoe conditions. Low visibility above treeline with some wind and blowing snow. Conditions on the Summit of Mt. Washington were beautiful with an undercast and almost no wind. There was a group of people who came up in the Snowcat taking pictures at the Summit sign. Coming back down Mt. Washington got back into the low visibility with everything looking white. Had to pay close attention to route finding. Hiked over to Jefferson, then retraced back down to Jewell Trail. Broke trail above treeline most of the time with some drifting of snow but nothing too bad. (This will all change tomorrow). Great to meet Bruce and hike up Mt. Washington and route find down to Jewell trail together. |
