There was about 2-3 inches of new snow on the trail this morning. We wore snowshoes all day but a couple of people in front of us barebooted the loop up Whiteface and over to Passaconaway. Also, people behind us barebooted but carried their snowshoes (??). Coverage on the trail was good with a few rocks here and there but glad we wore the snowshoes as there was lots of loose snow. Some breaks in the clouds gave us views to the Tripyramids and over to Chocorua. Got down to the car and had about 2 inches of snow to brush off the windshield.
Second slowest hike of my life. |
