5 cars were able to park on the side of the road with the trailhead, it requires parking in some snow so if your car has low clearance then use care. My sedan was able to park and make it out okay |

Snowshoes were the best choice of traction after about 0.5-1 miles in on pine bend. Down low the trail had 1-2 in of new snow covering an established track so barebooting or spikes was costing more energy than using snowshoes. Everyone I saw besides 1 person had snowshoes on once the trail got steep and across the ridge. Steep section was pretty easy with snowshoes, just a few spots had thick ice under the snow and required more care. Up high there were drifts on some areas of the ridge and probably closer to 3-4 in of new snow over the track. Trail was easy to follow. At least 8 people were on pine bend today, most with snowshoes so it should be in good shape but I still recommend snowshoes due to the loose snow.
I think two people came up north slide today. There were no tracks heading down scaur ridge and maybe 1 or 2 old tracks heading down sabbaday brook. There were old tracks going down to South tripyramid but it sounded like at least a couple people were maybe headed that way so it may be broken out now. |
