 | Comments: |
Could have gone either way today with snowshoes or spikes. Trail nicely packed just about all the way to Cabot. Some short areas of drifting starting after the “Forest Protection” sign before the cabin and all the way to the summit. Periodic post holes but mostly along the edges of the packed trail so not bad to avoid.
As I was descending, the last 2 miles (which gets a lot of sun right now due to no leaves) was becoming slushy. Warm temps Tuesday and first part of Wednesday will exacerbate that so snowshoes may be the better traction option. |
