Warden's Path looked like no one had been up for awhile however on the way back down there was evidence of skis going a different direction helping break out some of the trail.
A couple of inches of unpacked snow along the North Twin trail, snow drifts when getting towards the short scrub. Winds died down as we enjoyed the views for miles around for the Presidentials on the way up and the Franconia Ridge from the Summit outlook.
Cold day with a low of -8 not including wind speeds but all in all a great day for hiking. We felt like we owned North Twin today not seeing tracks or anyone else on the mountain.
