 | Comments: |
Figured to get some trails in Waterville Valley before heading home. Ski slope is very wet and muddy. Trail from ski slope to Greeley Ledge is wet with avoidable snow/ice. From that point on, 1-3' of unpacked crust, sometimes supports sometimes not. Should have brought snowshoes and gaiters, got about 1/2 -3/4 mile and were getting too wet, went back. Greeley Ledge and Elephant Rock, wet.
