Great conditions for Cabot right now. I was able to bare boot the entire day with barely a slip, post hole or divot. Saw three others today (two of them familiar faces) and only one was wearing snowshoes which helped pack down already well packed trails.
Just below the summit there is also a short, well packed detour to the left that brings you to really impressive views of the Presis. I'd never seen this before and it was a great bonus on top of an already great day.
Enjoy the firm packed, fast trail. |
