| Comments: |
Trail had not been touched since storm. I broke out from parking lot to summit - ran into a group later, so trail is now well packed for snowshoeing. Decent amount of blowdowns on the Bunnell Notch Trail, but most of them have been cut up and removed. Lots of drifting beyond the Mt. Cabot Trail (unbroken) junction. New snow was powder, ranging from 8"-18" (usually about a foot), with drifts up to 3 feet. Heavily drifted above cabin. |
