| Comments: |
Both the Liberty Spring and Pemigewasset trails have plenty of ice underfoot. This morning it was also under an inch of fresh powder. Microspikes worked effectively from the parking lot to summit on this warm day. A beautiful end to winter. Mid 30s on the summit under sunny blue skies. Barely a breeze. Great views all around. |
