Just a dusting of snow at the bottom. The footbed was hard packed snow\ice. About a half mile after leaving the logging road, the snow suddenly appears in the woods. The trail was still quite slick but the recent dusting had softened ice. The new snow increased to an inch or so at the Kilkenny junction to maybe 2 by Bunnell Rock. There was 4-6 from the ranger cabin to the Cabot summit. I meandered off trail twice perhaps cutting a turn or two. It snowed lightly most of the day. Microspikes car to car. Thanks to Sarah for the invite and congrats to Hannah on W45. |
