Great cold day to do a Cannonball Run! We made light work of F'n J and the Cannon Balls. Getting up the backside of Cannon required some sugar and hauling our back ends up. Always steep! Trails pretty filled in. New England Bare Boot Brigade was out in force and we had to make due with the damage, three backpackers in spikes and two day hikers in spikes. Looks like hard going as we glide by in snow shoes. Must be training for an iron man. Wonderful blue bird skies and views. Thank you Dan and Kali for another wonderful day in the snow! |
