Great day for these two. Spotty icy monorail started at 2800 micros only traction that was needed today. Glad I had snowshoes as snowpack is running between a foot up to four feet just before the viewpoint after Passaconaway. This is the one point I postholed once to my hips. Otherwise monorail was quite solid. I passed 13 hikers social distancing was maintained. |
