 | Comments: |
Great conditions today, trail was a well packed super highway on Hancock Notch, Cedar Brook and up until about .3 before the split on the loop, wore spikes up until then. Then it became a little choppy with some minor postholing so we switched to snow shoes. Shoes were the right choice around the loop and back to the same spot. |
