| Comments: |
There was a couple of inches of fresh powder over a tracked and solid base, thanks to the trailbreaking of Tim, Larisa and Toby on the 3rd. We wore snowshoes on the ascent and microspikes on the descent. Met Craig Untiet from Bristol who came up from York Pond. He wanted to make a loop of it over the Horn and Bulge but that section of the trail was unbroken so he returned via the same route. Saw no other hikers. Beautiful sunny hike with Steve Z., Skipper and Sugaree. |
