Perfect day for Waumbek, post storm with snow covered trees. Mary wanted to practice breaking trail so she and Tutu got a head start on us by about an hour. Between the 4 of us, we laid down a nice snowshoe track and we passed one additional person on our way down. The fresh snow is loose powder so snowshoes are definitely the best traction choice at this time. |
