Comments
Comments: Cory and I started and finished at Roaring Brook.
All trails are broken out - everything above treeline is packed solidly - snow-crusted.
Used snowshoes all the way and felt comfortable climbing the Saddle slide in snowshoes. If we had descended this trail crampons and ice-axe would have come out of our packs.
