| Comments: |
I did not even take snowshoes today based on other reports; KFT had been broken out, not completely smooth but fine..above the RR crossing the track left the trail and went straight up but I decided to stay on trail, and then the track re connected to the trail proper..
crusty down low on all trails; EPT had been snowshoed and was snowshoed towards the pond; WRT had an inch or two of powder and ice was really no issue, and ladders were easy; I used Hillsounds pros and another hiker came up after me had micro spikes, but after tonite's quick snow event who knows what you'll need..no wind and great views today (obviously!) |
