Beautiful, lovely, perfect day on Monadnock! Carried my boots and snowshoes the whole day and skipped along in my trail runners and mirco-spikes the whole day and all without post-holing. I could run around on the snow everywhere it was so firm and consolidated. I had the summit all to myself too. I wish I had my skis for the descent down Royce, wide sweet hardwood glad all the way. Fun out & backs and figure 8s and being outside was terrific day to celebrate April Fools Day. |
