Three of us made the long trek out to West Baldface in deep unbroken powder. It took us about 7 hours one way to reach the summit. It was cold today with a -5 start but sunny with no wind. We launched the bushwhack just to the north of FR 5039 and stayed in the woods alongside it heading straight for the summit. Beautiful woods. Apparently a moose was about, postholing our tracks on East Branch trail. When we got back to the XC trails they had been groomed. I don’t know what the rule is for snowshoeing these trails, but a sign says you need a pass to ski them. |
