Comments
Comments: All trails in good condition. Snowshoe tracks throughout. Some sporadic postholing but not an impediment to forward progress. North facing trails at elevation had packed snow from wind so snowshoe track lacked depth in these areas. Almost no icy surfaces.
Lots of valley clouds today. However, the high peak areas of the White Mountains were completely clear including Mt Washington. No breeze and bright sun. Fed Gray Jays on Mt Avalon.
