Comments
Comments: A quick up and down hike in the afternoon to imp face outlook. Skies were cloudy but Presidentials were in the clear. Saw only a party of three people on the trail today who were kind enough to take a few pics for me. Trail had minimal snow covering beginning about a mile below the imp face outlook. There were also some patches of ice beginning about 3/4 mile below the imp face outlook - where the trail starts getting steeper. These could be avoided today but light traction could be helpful in a few spots - the snow and ice conditions are of course likely to change with the storm heading through the area tomorrow/saturday. When heading back the traffic through the notch was stopped for 45 minutes just before the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center - a pretty serious accident - at least one person was flown out via life flight helicopter.
