Weather awesome. World class views of Presidentials. As stated before, 6’ + drifts of snow common, especially on Carters. Went North to South on AT. Going down wildcat A to hut challenging on steep side slope, even with snowshoes. We were first group to break wildcats with snowshoes, so expect slow going until more folks go through. Carters were better tracked out, as was Imp Trail. Expect to wear a lot of snow from hitting branches with your head & fall on your butt a bit. Would recommend hooded clothing. These mountains are always challenging, but worth effort. Good luck!
