 | Comments: |
Broke trail 12 inches deep on Cart Path, Mossy Brook, Great Pasture, then 12-24 inches with some drifts 3 feet deep all the way up Marlboro. Wish we had not left our snowshoes in the car! Summit was all rocks with some drifting snow. Broke trail on Paradise Valley, where snow was 18 inches deep, then easy descent down White Arrow where it was packed out. Great workout, great day with Ben, Ned, and Natasha. |
