| Comments: |
The temperature got above freezing as the day wore on and some postholing started happening. Stony Brook was more solid than Carter-Moriah, as the latter had some loose snow. I would definitely recommend that if the temperatures stay high, bring snowshoes as the solidity of the snowpack will start to break down. |
