The trail conditions are IDEAL. Most folks in spikes, or bare boot. I briefly tried spikes, then decided I'd rather wear my snowshoes than carry them.
Weather conditions were IDEAL. Best piece of advice I got years ago was to watch the Mt. Washington weather report like a hawk, and pick your days. This was one of them. First time on this peak. Highly recommend! Absolutely gorgeous!!
