Total mess. Running water the entire length of the Mt. Cabot trail, which made for punchy snow and very, very wet feet. Put on snowshoes after 1.3 miles of barebooting, though they still sunk right though everything. I guess that's what happens when it's 72 degrees.
Kilkenny Ridge to the summit was much better, though though the monorail is becoming quite skinny. Wore snowshoes all the way. |
