Comments
Comments: Great hike of Mt Cabot and a quick bushwhack over and around the talus fields for some epic views.Varying amounts of loose powder between 2-8 inches with drifting near the summit. Snowshoes stayed in the trunk today.i was rethinking my decision in the first mile but once in the thicker woods trail was quite bony and micros did the trick today.Looking forward to a decent snowfall to enjoy snowshoeing.I met approximately 12 others on the descent and was great chatting with Lady Grey and John today as well as the others i crossed paths with today.
