| Comments: |
Trails were a packed superhighway this morning completely solid with just a light dusting of new snow. Great views even from Mt Tom with the snowpack. I was able to use micros for the entire hike-glad snowshoes were along for the ride. By midmorning lower elevations developed about an inch of mashed potatoes. I met six hikers today and was nice chatting with a few from a distance and with face mask on. Great day to be in the Whites!
