 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Difficult access for low clearance vehicles. I sent it and got up it in a Prius with studded snows but it was a little hairy. (There's also the winter lot on Route 2, which has plenty of space and adds about a quarter of a mile each way.) |

 | Comments: |
Easy cruiser to Waumbek. Very little snow below 2000', pretty bony and icy between 2 and 3 thousand, then smooth sailing with dull Hillsounds above 3000'. Brought snowshoes but didn't need. Think snow! |
