Hancock Notch, Cedar Brook, Hancock Loop N, S (no ridge)
First on trail around 745..there was a snowshoe track up to Hancock Loop South and up from yesterday; I chose to break out N Hancock and it was slow going, deep slippery powder, etc., but done..the Ridge was not broken out..I then glissaded back down and went up to S Hancock..very powdery and slippery, going to take some temp change to get trail in good shape..saw evidence of one hiker and his pup on the trail, but there were 4 other vehicles at the trailhead, so maybe the ridge is broken out..wind did obscure the tracks in spots...wind chill not bad... |
