| Comments: |
1-2" of new powder overnight down low, 4" new along the ridge. Maybe half a foot from previous storm down low, a foot plus up high (plus additional base below powder). Loop now well packed out for snowshoe traffic, though some blue ice (and random tree stumps - watch out if sliding!) showing through in a few places heading back down from South Hancock. Single set of ski trails continuing north on Cedar Brook Trail. Snowshoe tracks continuing east on Hancock Notch Trail. |
